Mocked her.

And now he cared about Elena?

“What makes you think I hate her, Marvin?” I felt as if I had screwed up as Panther’s different expressions flew all over the place like he was trying to figure me out.

“Nothing. I’m sorry. I’m just tired.” I covered with a smile. The sides of my lips were hurting because of this facade, but I had to hold on for just a while longer.
