The House of Wood
“David said, eating his last morsel of food. “What happened after that?”
“Please, don't make me do any more. I can't remember much else.”
“We've already had this conversation. It's better for you to finish.”
Rachel just sat there. It was beginning to feel like a tug of war with him. Why wouldn't he just take no for an answer? It wasn't as if it was life, or death. Not anymore. It was in the past and best left there. The clock on the wall said it was almost eleven o'clock. She needed a breather.

The bright fluorescent lights dazzled her, as they twinkled off the perfectly white tiles lining the walls. She sighed as she bent over the sink and looked at herself in the mirror.
Things were becoming far too complicated with David wanting to know every little detail about memories from a night that had long ago been forgotten.MoreLess
