The Imperishable Flame⎪✓

"You have lost your mind, what the hell do you think you're doing?" She yells at me.

"Don't start with me."

"I'm not starting shit, Elijah! This was supposed to be a night out and then you come along, you ruin everything!" The anger on her voice isn't lost on me, I've never heard her this mad before and she is dangerously attractive with the wild look in her eyes and slightly open mouth.

"You shouldn't even be here! What the fuck do you mean a night out, have you gone insane?" I raise my voice unintentionally and she looks even more crazed than she did before.

"That's rich, coming from the jerk who almost killed a guy minutes ago!"
