@unblume, continued from here.
She’s right: she really has done it. After all, on any given day, Cường, their infernal devil, is but flesh and intensity. However, she came closer all the same, dared fate and destiny, too, and she’s come to realize that intense doesn’t cut it — but maybe annoying, terrifying, and worst of all? Smart. "Worried?” Cường asks. Damn his mouth. His brow, a little unkempt today, lazily perks. “Well, don't be. We know I sell flowers all day like you, but unlike you, I like to pluck and crush them. So, if I’m going to get sick, I'll make some medicine for it, and if you get any redder, I'll make you some, too.” How mean. That cold look in his eye... He lets go of her, damage already done, and all this time, it wasn’t cold, no, but confidence, ease, and infuriating calm. It’s any wonder how he can bully so calmly! He turns away, eye prickling, and bends for a mirror. “I can take care of any cold you have,” Cường says, rubbing for the stray lash, “but I can’t do much about death by nerves. Well, nothing that isn’t exposure, anyway, but even after all this time, you haven’t adjusted.” Shame. Anyway: “Your shaking seems worse today.”
