Jolie's heart skipped a beat, her pulse momentarily thrown off rhythm.

Gavin raised an eyebrow. "Are you a crab?"

Jolie burst into laughter, her mood instantly lifted by his quick-witted remark. Her earlier irritation dissipated, replaced by lightheartedness.

Whether or not he meant it, the fact that he sided with her made her happy.
