She sounded aggrieved, and he couldn't find a single word to refute her. A warmth spread through his chest, and the knot of frustration he'd been holding onto completely dissolved. He quickly pulled her into his arms, coaxing her, "I'm sorry. It's just because I love you so much that I wanted to be loved by you just as much!"
"Hey, Walter Jennings. You're the one who started this cold war, and now you're the one who wants to make up. Do you really think the world revolves around you?"
