Not in a million years was anyone ever allowed to growl my full name, except for my family.

I stared up at the tall giant as he made his way over to me. Before he could say a word, I spoke up first, already embarrassed enough that all eyes were on me after his shout.

“Are you yelling at me?” I scoffed and glared at him.

“No, I’m just making sure that you’re not deaf,” he replied.

My blood boiled at the obvious sarcasm. The eyes that were staring weren’t helping a bit. Kris noticed it, too. As much as the moment was tensed, we both turned our heads, “Don’t you people have anything better to do?”
