“I don’t know about that. I find you very charming, underneath all the smugness.” “You think I’m smug?” Effy had to laugh at that. “You aren’t exactly the most approachable person I’ve ever met. But I suppose that’s because you’re also the smartest, most eloquent person I’ve ever met.”
He isn't as bad as Effy is making him out to be, though. Like not at all. She just disliked Preston out of an illogical and petty principle from the start, treated him like shit constantly saying xenophobic things because of it, and when he calmly stood up for himself and spoke logically she got mad at him for being right.
This isn't a positive relationship, I repeat, and will probably end up repeating again...
