"...Seriously, don't you think this is exhausting for me?"

Miles paused, his thin lips frozen. He never had the upper hand in verbal spats with her.

"Felicity, you once said I was the only one you ever liked."

"I did say that, but people change as they grow up!" she retorted as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Do you still think and feel the same way you did when you were a teenager? Don't forget, back when I first liked you, you still saw me as nothing more than a little sister! And look, you changed your tune eventually, didn't you?"

Miles was taken aback. "You... you were just a kid when you liked me! Not even out of high school. How could I have possibly entertained any inappropriate thoughts about you then?"

From his perspective, Felicity truly was just a little sister back then.

"That's exactly my point. We've both changed since growing up. You started liking me, and I... well, I stopped liking you as much."

"Langston, can't you see? This trial period we agreed to, it was really just my way of trying to get you to go back home! Stop hanging around me in Anglonia. It's... it's really messing with my life."

Miles, being as sharp as he is, could easily see through her intentions. He just didn't want to let go of this last chance.
