"It didn't seem important last night?!" You say to her, letting your voice reflect the unending source of fury inside of you. "It seems important now, though, doesn't it?! You may have got me killed, you know that!? You stupid tramp!"

You backhand her hard across the face with a forceful blow. She takes it well, her head turning with the impact and she looks back at you with barely a tear in her eye.

"Okay." She says. "I probably deserved that."

Probably deserved that? Probably? She's damn right she deserved it. That and so much more. Your insides are boiling with anger and you are strongly tempted to strike again, to give her more of what she deserves.

Do you give her the rest of the abuse or let that back hand be the end of it?
