"This is weird."
Maxen raised his brows and gazed at Cosette, who was standing beside him under the bus waiting shade. She had her eyes narrowed while rubbing her chin, sizing up the silent Maxen.
"Max, did you grow taller?" she asked, bobbing her face to examine him. "Or did you lose weight?"
He blinked, shoving his hands inside his pockets. "Maybe you got smaller?"
"What?"
"I think you're shrinking, Cozie." He looked at her from head to toe and then nodded. "I think that's the case."
Her face crumpled slightly and looked at him in disbelief. "Max, how can you twist a topic in such a twisted way?" she frowned. "It's just weird since I feel like yesterday, you were just this tall and now you seem to have grown an inch or two overnight! Also, if it's just losing weight, that's even weirder. Are you starving yourself secretly?"
