Stella Sterling started counting on her fingers. "Look, every time we had a get-together, Ethan Quinn always made sure to invite you."
Claire Shawcross thought, 'You idiot. That's because if I go, you go too.'
Stella glanced at her best friend. Seeing she was quiet, she continued, "And when we ate out, he always picked restaurants you liked."
Claire thought, 'You dumbass. That's because we have the same taste in food.'
Stella grew more animated as she spoke. "And that time we went camping and ran into a snake! He was so scared his legs were jelly, but he still did everything he could to protect you."
Claire thought, 'You moron. That's because we were standing right next to each other.'
In summary, Stella Sterling believed her reasoning was flawless, putting her on par with Sherlock Holmes.
Claire, however, stubbed out her slim cigarette and gave Stella a look of utter exasperation. "That's it?"
Stella: "That's not enough?"
