Like a flower? I blink in confusion and stare at him for several silent seconds before asking "Like a flower? What?" Thane quickly clears his throat at says "Oh, I was saying no worries. You were as light as a flower."
I blink again before saying "Oh... I see." I clear my throat this time before throwing the cotton swab at him and saying "You just do it!" I stand up and walk to the other side of the truck, ignoring the awkward looks from the others.
My face is so red... I probably look like one of those red monkey butts you always see at the zoos! I sit down with my back facing the others as I try to forget what just happened. A few minutes later, Cruz plops himself down next to me and asks "Are you okay?"
