"Maybe she doesn't love me as much as you think." A flash of hatred flickered in Miles Xavier's dark eyes. He stood up and patted Joan Shaw's shoulder. "Wait for me at home. I'll take care of everything."
"Let me come with you?"
"Just do as I say." Miles Xavier gently rubbed her cheek, his voice a soft caress.
Joan Shaw stopped arguing and nodded. "Okay, I'll wait for you at home."

「Shona Joplin's Hotel」
Heartbroken after being dumped, she was in a foul mood. She hadn't gone to work all day, choosing instead to hide in her room and drink her sorrows away. No matter how many times Amy knocked, she refused to answer.
