In the living room, Gilbert and Caroline sat opposite each other in silence.

"Okay." She stood and walked out, still dazed.

"No need."
Caroline had already entered the dining room, opening the fridge to grab a battle of soda. "Got iced tea, is that okay?" "Yeah," Gilbert replied noncommittally.
"Alright." Caroline tried to twist the cap open but struggled. "Why won't this open?" "Let me..." Gilbert reached out to help.
"No!" Caroline suddenly snapped, "I've got it!"
She applied more force, but the cap closed, and remained closed, and her fingerhail cracked. "Caroline?" Gilbert was taken aback, taking the bottle from her hand.
