\u201cLosing hands?\u201d Avril laughed. \u201cI\u2019m holding a royal flush.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t bother trying to reason with Avril. She won\u2019t learn until it\u2019s too late. We\u2019ll just wait and watch her fall on her face.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After they had all left in a cloud of derision, Avril looked down at the bag of fast food. She started to toss it in the trash but hesitated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fine. For a moment there, Torrin had actually shown some backbone. And it would be a shame to waste the food.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once Torrin was in the car, Sharon looked at the scrapes on his face, a mocking smile playing on her lips. \u201cWell done, Torrin. Truly heroic. You swooped in to save the damsel in distress, only to find out the damsel wasn\u2019t even there. Larissa was long gone, and you were still eagerly fighting her battles for her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Torrin\u2019s face darkened. He glared at her. \u201cShut up. It\u2019s none of your business.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His sullenness only amused her more. \u201cOh, am I not allowed to comment? Don\u2019t worry, I have no interest in your affairs. I\u2019m simply mocking you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Torrin was speechless. After a moment, he snapped, \u201cCan you just close your mouth and stop talking?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then he turned his head and stared out the window.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sharon, as if to provoke him further, arched an eyebrow. \u201cMy car, my rules. I\u2019ll say whatever I want.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Furious, Torrin grabbed the door handle. \u201cFine, I\u2019ll get out!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as he was about to open the door, Sharon\u2019s voice cut through his anger. \u201cGo ahead. But if you take one step out of this car, I guarantee Lucius\u2019s men will be on you in seconds, and they\u2019ll break both your hands.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Torrin froze. As much as he hated to admit it, she was probably right. Lucius wasn\u2019t the type to let things go. He glanced out the window at Lucius and his entourage leaving the bar and, with a defeated sigh, closed the door and slumped back into his seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cZeke, drive,\u201d Sharon instructed her chauffeur.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the car pulled away, she looked at her brother\u2019s sulking form. \u201cAre you really that hung up on Larissa? You used to be a nobody, but now you\u2019re a Dillon heir\u2013my brother. You can have any woman you want. Why are you so obsessed with this one girl?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo other woman is Larissa,\u201d he grumbled, then added under his breath, \u201cA woman no man wants like you wouldn\u2019t understand.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sharon slapped him on the back of the head. \u201cDon\u2019t push your luck.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Was it that no man wanted her? Or was it that no man dared to approach her?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Torrin rubbed his head, muttering, \u201cA gentleman does not fight with a woman.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSeriously, though,\u201d Sharon continued, \u201cthat little Palmer girl isn\u2019t bad. She seemed genuinely worried about you. If you\u2019re that desperate for a woman, I could try to set you two up\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
