William Guillen's eye color gradually darkened. He pursed his thin lips. "Fluffy, you're still mad at me, aren't you?"
"I'm not angry..."
How could William not see she wasn't being sincere? She was clearly still angry; she had been refusing to see him these days. If that wasn't anger, what was?
"I'm sorry, Fluffy."
"..."
William sighed. "If you're still not satisfied, how about you kick me a few times?"
Fluffy Zane was nearly driven to tears by his provocation. She looked at her leg, still in a plaister cast. "William Guillen, are you deliberately bullying me? Look at my leg. Do you think it can kick you?"
Realizing he had misspoken, William awkwardly coughed twice. "Sorry, I misspoke. I apologize."
Fluffy Zane angrily grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.
She wanted to tell him to get lost, but the words died on the tip of her tongue, and she swallowed them back down.
No, she had to buy Sophie Sullivan more time.
