"Excuse me, sir. Are you attacking me?" Olivia asked, her voice laced with a hint of hostility towards Wyatt, the platoon commander, who shifted in his seat by the sudden chill in the air.
Wyatt could not explain why he got easily riled up when Olivia said what she said. He completely forgot that she basically grew up in a foreign country and her British accent alone was a dead giveaway. But his love for the country got the best of him, momentarily clouding his judgment, therefore, offending a new friend.
"Nobody's attacking you, Livi," Emily said as she rubbed Olivia's arms. And as if it was not enough buttering her up, she snapped her head toward Wyatt and said, "Hey! Don't attack her, Honey!"
