~Lisa's POV
I was still feeling the sting on my palm from where I'd slapped Bella. It wasn't something I normally did, and honestly, it didn't sit right in my chest either. But the look she had given me… the tone she used earlier… I just knew if I didn't put her in her place, she might get bold enough to cause real trouble.
Bella's eyes went wide in shock first, but the shock was quickly replaced with pure anger.
"You dare…" she started, stepping closer to me like she was ready to throw her slap back at me.
"Don't you dare," I snapped, my voice shaking but sharp. "You lay a hand on me and I will tell Damon everything."
Her hand froze mid-air, her nostrils flaring. I could feel my heart racing, but I kept my chin high.
