I felt a flush creep up my cheeks at his words, a mixture of embarrassment and irritation coursing through me. "You're delusional if you think that," I shot back, but even as the words left my mouth, I couldn't shake the nagging feeling that he might be right.

My hands trembled as I adjusted the straps of my dress, my gaze fixed on Benjamin's indifferent expression.
"Okay, you win. Can I dress up now?"
He turned to live quietly, this time with a nod.
Benjamin's nod felt like a dismissal, and as I dressed myself, I stepped outside.
