“Wait,” said Matthew. “Wait, wait, wait. You don’t like me because I am so very charming?” He threw his head back and laughed. He kept laughing. He laughed so much that he had to come and sit beside James on the step, and then he laughed some more. “Stop it, Matthew,” James grumbled. “Stop laughing. I am sharing my innermost feelings with you. This is very hurtful.” “I’ve been in a bad mood this whole time,” said Matthew. “You think I’m charming now? You have no idea.” James punched him in the arm. He could not help smiling. He saw Matthew noticing, and looking very pleased with himself.
