The threat surprised her, but given that she lacked any knowledge of the other womanâs background, Belle set it to the side. After all, the man left and the woman hadnât actually harmed him.  âI could lie to you, I suppose,â Belle replied. âBut that would be an insult to both of us, so Iâd rather not.â She shrugged.  âThe place is rather full, but considering he sat down without so much as a by-your-leave, itâs hard to blame you for being upset.â
Meg couldnât do much but raise an eyebrow at the woman. Huh, most people werenât that straight forward with her or brave enough to say what she had. A small grin started to curl at the corner of her mouth. She had guts, that was for sure. âI suppose so.â She tilted her head for a second, unsure of how to take the weird was the conversation had lead. âYeah, itâs an asshole move. I mean, even if he had asked Iâd still tell him to fuck off, but I mightâve been a bit... kinder I guess.â
