She instinctively jumped to her feet and punched out with her left arm, before she fully realized she was back safe in her father's office. Frank watc...ed his daughters actions with concern. "What's wrong?" He then noticed her split lip and a growing bruise on her arm. "What the hell?"He grabbed a box of tissues sitting on his desk. He took out a couple and pressed them to Sally's bleeding lip. She replaced her father's hand with her own, wincing at the sting she felt. "Sorry.
