He averted his eyes but insisted, “I’m not angry.

“You are!”

“I’m not!”

“You are!”

They started arguing like children right there in the middle of the street.

Sebastian snapped, “Fine, then tell me why you think I’m upset!”

“You’re clearly upset everywhere! Your eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows, hair, and even your eyelashes are saying that you’re angry!”

He was rendered speechless.
