The simplicity of the rules duped Melody into believing the questions would be as simple. However, reading the questions written on the cards Melody felt a heat rising on her cheeks.

"That was ... " stupid? Rash? Ridiculous to believe he wouldn't have been caught? She bit her lip as she attempted to come up with a suitable response. "...noble of you.

The curse spreading up her hand very well could've been the type to kill her had he not intervened. Who knew it would lead them down such a twisted path?
