"Ok, don't get out of the house, don't call anyone, don't answer your phone and don't open the door to anyone you don't know. And turn off your computer. Christine and I will be there in an hour. We'll bring dinner." I swept what was left of my business cell phone, grabbed another beer, and sat in the living room to try to calm down after the events of the previous hour. I knew that Daphne was attracted to Dickhead. Or rather that she was enticed by the aura of power that he displayed.
