“What the hell? I bought those for her. Why would you just throw them away?” Clark looked offended and upset.

Realizing the attention that was now on them, Thalassa finally snapped back to the situation and quickly pushed Kris away from her.

“What right do you think you have to throw my flowers away? What is wrong with you?” she hissed.

“No. What is wrong with YOU?!” Kris retorted. “Why would you take the flowers and keep them so close to you when you know that you have a reaction to them?”

“Reaction?” Clark frowned and turned to Thalassa. “What is he talking about?”

“She’s allergic to them, idiot. They give her headaches. You would’ve noticed she wasn’t alright if you had studied her reaction instead of talking like a fucking parrot.”

“You bastard, you tricked me. You told me they were her favorite flowers.” Clark accused before turning to Thalassa. “Why didn’t you tell me? I’m so sorry. Are you okay?”

Thalassa nodded, even though her hard eyes were directed at Kris. “Yes, I’m fine, Clark. Do not listen to Kris.” She looked pointedly at Kris. “I lied about my allergy.”

Without missing a beat, Kris scoffed. “You’re only pretending right now, but I know that as soon as you get to your office, you’re going to take two painkillers. You never lied to me.”

Hearing his words, Thalassa couldn’t help but smile bitterly. “Out of all the things you could’ve chosen not to call me a liar for, this is what you finally settled on, isn’t it?”

Kris winced, knowing she was referring to all the times he’d doubted her…was still doubting her.

“Thalassa…”

Thalassa cut him off. “I don’t know what you’re trying to achieve here, but stop being a hypocrite and acting like you care about my well–being.”

Without waiting for him to say anything else, she turned and walked out of the restaurant, leaving Kris gritting his teeth in frustration.

“Uh, don’t you think you overreacted a bit?” Alden’s voice came from behind him. “You really didn’t have to grab the flowers and throw them so hard.”

Kris knew that his friend was right, but he felt justified. Thalassa was willing to keep holding on to those flowers as long as she was in his sight, and he hadn’t wanted her headache to worsen.
