"I appreciate the worry," Mauve cut in, "but I assure you, I am fine. There is no need to cancel. I am fine with a few days off, but to completely cancel the lessons? I think you might be overreacting a little, Louis. And it was just one day. Jael will have gotten over this by tomorrow night."
"Are we speaking about the same person?" Louis asked sarcastically. "We both know Jael doesn't give up easily, and as I said, this does not concern him. I am just worried about everything that's going on."
"And I just said there is no need to worry," Mauve said, getting annoyed. She could also notice that her pitch had increased.
"You're not even going to listen to me, are you?"
"Because you don't want to listen to me either; you're just telling me what you've decided."
"Yes," Louis nodded.
Mauve glared at him. "Are you not going to deny it?" she asked.
"Why would I do that? Besides, I am the teacher here, and I have decided."
