Fortunately, it was ruined as soon as he opened his mouth again. “If you wanted to send me another fantasy like you did at the planetarium,” he murmured, eyes twinkling as he backed away. “I’m happy to play them out at any time.”
I sputtered, my cheeks turning bright red. “I didn’t send you anything, you pig,” I snapped, reminding myself of the knife in my hand.
Fenris smirked but said nothing else, finally seeing himself out of the room. I stared at the door for a long time after he left, but finally, I was alone again.
After I waited long enough—I had no sense of time in this room as even the light seemed neither strong or faded—I got up. Keeping the knife secure in one hand, I walked over to the door and turned the knob… or tried to, anyway. I gave a few firm rattles and scowled.
