Chapter 33: "I promise."

I don’t know if I prefer the ruckus they created before or the deafening silence right now because both are equally unbearable to me. They had just stopped shouting five minutes ago when I refused to answer anything and Blu volunteered to make coffee for us, to help us all calm down.

The silence was unnerving as we just sat in our previous spots with a mug of coffee in our hands, lost in our thoughts.

I took a large sip to occupy myself but immediately grimaced when a stinging sensation irritated my tongue followed by the slow burn caused by the hot coffee. It felt nice in a way, thinking that maybe it was Karma’s way of punishing my sharp tongue.

Nevertheless, gulping it down silently, I slightly opened my lips to cool my tongue, carefully so as not to break the thinking duo from their trance.
