"That's not the same as admitting it!" When she heard him say that, Chani Gordon suddenly snapped back to her senses, as if she'd grasped what he meant, "If you like her, why don't you just say it outright? Even if she likes my brother, so what? My brother doesn't like..."
She hadn't finished her sentence when she heard Rio Gordon roar!
"Who said I don't like her!"
He had had enough tonight, a woman, a useless sister, and a provoking man had all made him neurotic.
"Brother, you like Senna Leon?" Chani's eyes had finally come back into focus, "Do you really like her? Why do I feel like you're just saying that out of anger?"
"For you, I could like her!"
Chani Gordon: "..."
What does it mean he could like someone for her sake? Just because he likes Senna Leon, does it mean Owen Hayes could like her too?
Chani Gordon didn't feel happy about the hope sparked by this logic; on the contrary, her mood became even heavier!
