Avery's fingers flew across the screen as she typed her reply. "Uhm... what does it look like? Maybe trying to find relief somewhere else since my husband is denying me."
The response came in all caps, and she could almost hear the growl in his voice. "GET OVER HERE."
Avery didn't hesitate. She excused herself from Alice and the actor, claiming she needed to visit the restroom. As she walked away, she passed by Archie but didn't stop. She could feel his eyes burning into her, but she kept moving, her heels clicking against the floor as she stepped out of the hall and turned down a quiet, dimly lit corridor.
Before she could even take a full breath, she was being pushed against the wall, Archie's body looming over her. His hands gripped her shoulders, his blue eyes blazing behind his glasses as he stared down at her.
"You wanted to seek relief from another man because your husband was denying you?!" he demanded, his voice low and rough with anger. "You think I want to do this?"
