The Woman From Hell

Due to the embarrassing moment I had with Drover yesterday, I could not look at him directly since I had not let go of the matter completely yet.

Drover obviously was the same. He walked passed me and sat next to Marius without making eye contact with me the whole time.

I glanced at Marius next to me, my eyes sending the message, 'Aren't you going to take care of it? Go on, then!'

Seemingly understanding my gaze, he looked at me, assured me, and then quietly made an 'OK' sign before turning to smile at Drover.

This bewildered Drover, who had been swiping his phone. He glanced at Marius with a look saying 'you're sick' before he lowered his head again. This was followed by, "Did you take the wrong meds?"

I held back my smile and paid attention to Marius through the periphery of my vision, but I saw that he was also looking at me. He seemed to have noticed that I was holding back a smile. Slight resentment flashed through his eyes before he turned to Drover again. "Drover, look. The weather is good today. Shall we go camping?"

Camping?

He sure had quite the ideas.

Drover was obviously also a little speechless. He put down his phone, crossed both arms across his chest, and looked at Marius with his back straight. "Are you sure you're not joking?"
