laughs sarcastically Oh, really? You were just gonna "tell me"? After all this time? releases Asher's arm and paces around
Scared? Scared of what, Asher? That I might not be happy about the news? That I might get angry? smirks
You always get mad when I do something wrong
stops pacing and steps right in front of Asher Yeah, well, maybe if you didn't constantly fuck up, I wouldn't have to get mad!
