a little starter for @heatthens
"again? i swear-- common sense has been chasing you your whole life-- but you have always been faster." she stares at the bloody knuckles, the split lip-- and the body writhing behind him. she rolls her eyes-- can hear the shriek of her publicist, knows someone in this party has filmed this entire altercation. she can almost read the shade room comments now. she tilts her head slightly, gestures to the stairs that lead up further into the cavernous mansion and away from the buzzing party. "come on. don't get blood on the carpet-- billie is attached to it." she heads up stairs without sparing him another look and walks into the guest room. she waits until he's there, until they are finally alone to meet his gaze again. "...you can't keep acting like a cave man every time a man speaks to me. men are going to speak to me-- they make up half the planet."
