Winnie leaned against the wall and poked her head out of the corner to peek at them, much to Josiah’s amusement.

Pulling her back, he asked softly, “What are you doing? Everyone will know you’re peeking if you act all suspicious like that!”

Winnie rolled her eyes at him in response. “You made my hair all messy, Bad Specky!”

Josiah eyed her from head to toe as he teased her, “I think having messy hair suits you really well.”

Shooting him a fierce glare, Winnie asked, “You want me to beat you up?”

“Bring it on, then. I’ll hold still,” Josiah challenged fearlessly with his hands in his pockets.

D*mn it! This guy would be dead if I didn’t have to keep this act up!

Winnie then pinched him on the forearm with all of her might, causing him to wince in pain and shock.

Oh, dear… She looks really mad! Did I piss her off for real?

“Ow! That hurts! Go easy on me, will you?”

Go easy on you? Dream on, you jerk!

Instead of letting go, Winnie pinched him even harder than before.

Josiah wanted to yank her hand off but did not dare use too much force for fear of hurting her.

Not having that much of a choice, he tried backing off instead, but Winnie continued making her way toward him.
