“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean… Oh, whatever!” She threw up her hands in defeat.
Rex laughed—he couldn’t help it.
“This is so awful,” she said, covering her face with her hands.
“It’s okay,” Rex said with a bemused smile.
“No, it’s not.”
“Thanks for the honest compliment.” He chuckled. “Really, it’s fine.”
“Yet you’re still laughing.”
“Well, I just wasn’t expecting it. Thanks for making my day.”
She removed her hands from her face and squared her shoulders.
