What is love? (4 of 5)

Having heard the horrible news of her Chuck's past extracurricular activities, Michelle is destroyed.  She is boiling with rage and a sense of retribution that only a scorned woman could every truly understand.  Though she goes home from Just Desserts with her mind set on confronting Reggie, she is suddenly afraid.  Who is this man she called the love of her life?  She hardly knows him!  Is he dangerous?  What is love? she asks herself.  And then she sends a silent plea to Chuck.  "Baby, don't hurt me."

Oddly enough, Chuck has chosen the same night to surprise Michelle with a romantic ride on horseback through the country side.  He takes pleasure in the azure skies while Michele holds onto her horse's forelock, nearly crashing into it.

She finally tells Chuck.  Chuck considers changing his ways, but cannot.  Off in the distance he can see Reggie's Underlord, Marie, Queen of the Undead Mafia, sitting by her Horse With No Name, and gazing at him.  Her gaze is meant to remind Chuck that Reggie's Ring is much like the famous Hotel California: you can check out any time you like but you can never leave.
