After breakfast, where they successfully managed not to scratch each other's eyes, they returned to their room with Bella gone. She must be in a hurry to meet her editor.
They got ready to go out, scoffing at each other every time their eyes met. It was Andrei who raised the white flag, seeking truce when they were in the elevator, going down to the hotel lobby.
"Let's not do this anymore. I know you have a lot of things in your mind, and huffing and throwing daggers through our eyes are quite draining."
"Huh? I could do this all day!" she puffed her cheeks in indignation. She wasn't really angry at Andrei anymore, and she agreed with him that acting in this childish fight was just fun when they were in high school, and yeah — probably until university, but right now… it is indeed emotionally draining.
