Valerie looked away from Max and tried to stand. Max wasted no time to help her to her feet but once she was stable on her feet, she shoved him away.
"Take a bath before touching me." She said and walked past him, toward the sink to watch her mouth and her face.
She expected Max to mock her for feeling jealous or acting out after meeting Lucy but instead, he asked,
"Why are you throwing up?" She raised her head and stared at him through the mirror.
He had this conflicted look on his face. Confused and helpless.
"It's nothing." She said. "It just happens when I suppress myself for too long or when I see something utterly disgusting." Her eyes glazed over him and towards the sink, washing her face one more time.
"I understand that you're disgusted." Max said, covering his mouth in thought. "But what do you mean by suppressing yourself? Valerie, why do you throw up?"
