It hurt. She fell to her knees and peered up with tearful eyes. Her heart throbbed; she could see its red glow between his fingers. The hands that once caressed her cheek, now menacing claws that wrapped around her lifeline. His sneer no longer chilled her to the bone, his face no longer held any charm or desire.
