"Come here, Sofie." His anger made him compelling, exciting. Her eyes wide, Sofie stood up as if a puppet on his string. He crooked his finger at her again and Sofie found herself walking toward him, her heart pounding very hard. "How did you find me?" "I've made you my affair, my dear," he said, staring her down.
