--- “Window shopping is fine. When you go through almost three-quarters of a bottle of my perfume to draw to the conclusion that it’s too expensive, when the price was there the entire time, then I feel like I have a right to get a bit irritable.” Each word was annunciated with a particular spite as leaned his elbows against the desk once more, ensuring he caused no further smears to the freshly-polished surface.
