"I think you said I'm a perfect husband material?"
"I said that?" Miso didn't even turn her head to look at him in the eye. "I don't remember saying that."
Oh, she seemed to be trying to deny that she said it. Chris had always been lenient to others, and to her specifically, but this time, he wanted to tease her.
"Denying what you said earlier, huh…" he replied with a big grin. "I guess, you must have thought of me as a…" he trailed off and leaned in closer, whispering through her ear. "As a husband material."
Miso didn't answer and just fixed her gaze on the ground. It seemed that he succeeded in teasing her slightly, but he immediately felt bad.
Playing soft jokes on people can backfire a lot. That depends on the relationship between the two said parties as well. Chris could say that they weren't really that close enough to joke around.
Isn't that the reason why he's trying to joke around whenever he could?
