Chloe's sharp mind froze for a second. But she quickly regained her composure, taking a step back.

"Pax, I slapped you for your own good. There's no need to retaliate like this," she said, her earlier bravado completely gone. Regret flickered in her eyes. She really shouldn't have slapped him-she might have hurt the poor kid's head.
