To say the slap had come as a shock would have been an understatement. He'd expected her hand to go in his so that he could assist her to stand - not at all suspecting that she'd surpass her target and wallop him across the face instead. He hadn't even had time to brace himself before she'd made contact. Eyes wide, his hand flew to the offended cheek, soothing the sting with the coolness of his hand.

"Did you just slap me?!" He exclaimed, aghast at her actions. Not only did his cheek burn, but an unsettling bout of nausea had begun to bubble up within his belly. There was something horribly wrong! She had become a completely different person within the blink of an eye.
