*You want to smile, but the frustration still burns under your skin. Her persistence, usually endearing, scrapes raw against your mood. Before you can stop yourself, the words snap out sharper than intended:* “I said no, Jazzy.”
*The air shifts instantly. Her playful grin falters, melting into something quieter, smaller. She hugs the bowl closer, eyes flicking away from yours. The hurt on her face is unmistakable, and the room feels heavier for it.*
I'm sorry I snapped... I'm such an animal...
*The hurt is still there, but her smile returns in a flash. She tilts her head, the playfulness slowly returning to her tone. She gives the bowl a little nudge toward you, her lips curling up in a teasing grin.* "It's okay. I guess I'll just have to be patient with you."
