"It's just a kid. We can have another. You want me to die for him?"
The wind screamed, snapping roadside trees and hurling them at the glass wall.
The impact made the glass shudder. The two on the bed couldn't stay calm anymore.
"You're insane! You're fucking insane!"
"Baby, do something! If the glass breaks, we're both dead!"
Lily shook Alex frantically. He sneered, teeth clenched, glaring at me. "This wall is custom bulletproof glass. We've had worse typhoons. It held. What are you afraid of?"
I bent down and cupped his face the way I used to, stroking it gently.
Then my hand came down hard across his cheek.
"Baby, you've been away too long. Two months ago, when you brought her here and fucked her on this bed—when you dirtied this glass—I replaced it all."
"This is ordinary glass now."
"Guess how long it'll hold."
