Her footsteps quickened, her heels clicking against the pavement as she marched straight to him, her eyes blazing with barely concealed anger.

The sight of his smug confidence only infuriated her further.
Stopping just inches from him, her voice came out sharp, clipped.
"What the hell are you doing here, Sebastian?"
