A Beautiful Misunderstanding

He placed the magazine on his bedside table and turned his eyes towards her, placing his head an inch away from her. His eyes seemed even darker than the dark night sky that Essie could see through the window.

"You don't believe me?" he asked.

There was a bit of mockery when she rolled her eyes and answered, "Why should I believe a person who has lied to me?"
