Keira twitched the corner of her mouth when she heard that.
She recalled a joke she'd once read: someone went undercover in an enemy organization, worked hard for years, and eventually became the second-in-command. They called their people back home, exasperated, saying, "When are you coming to get me? If you wait any longer, I'll end up running the place!"
And now, as absurd as it seemed, she couldn't believe something similar was happening to her.
Keira sighed. "Things seem... pretty casual over there."
"Ha! Casual enough that you're not thinking about coming back, are you?" Erin's voice suddenly cut through, dripping with sarcasm.
Keira turned, confused. "You're still upset? Wasn't all of that just an act?"
"It was an act," Erin snapped. "But then you said some things that really got under my skin. Now? Now I'm actually mad!" Her tone turned sharp, almost tearful. "Keira Olsen, you are just... too much!"
With that, Erin stormed off.
