What she got was the opposite of what she wanted, also known as the subtitle to her marriage. She tightened her hands at her sides, willing herself not to react. That lasted all of a second. She wanted to rage and punish him somehow, but more than anything, she wanted her husband back. "Emrys," She entered his personal space and dared him to remove her from it or purposefully ignore her eyes. "My impulse is to yell at you, and I want you to understand that now I am afraid. I am bloody afraid to go to a dinner because you're behaving like the gallows awaits. Why don't you want me to go? I know that is the heart of this nonsense."
