That was my dessert. On my head. And my dress. You think this is a joke?” “It’s called testing boundaries,” she said lightly, like throwing a plate at someone’s head was normal. I narrowed my eyes. “You have no idea what you’re doing. You’re not intimidating anyone. You’re pathetic.” Her smile faltered for a second, just enough for me
