“Jason, what’s up with you?” Evadne looked puzzled and surprised.

She always thought highly of Jason, but there he was looking all beat up and lost, eyes bloodshot, lips pale as a sheet, like a puppy left homeless in a downpour.

Ca**ius came up to Evadne, his steps steady, his eyes soft, as he wiped his handsome hands with a pristine white silk cloth.

Evadne glanced at him and saw specks of blood on the cloth.
