"Are you still ignoring me?" Adam asked, watching as Melanie walked over to the kitchen island and set down her food with an exaggerated huff.

Adir, who was busy colouring in his book, looked up without missing a beat and replied, "I think that means—yes."

He shook his head slowly, then added in a dramatic tone that almost made Adam laugh, "You better give her a proper apology, before she snaps at someone else next. Maybe even me. And if I have to suffer because of your mistake, I will add salt to your coffee."
