- Contexto
- Victor finished his sandwich and started to unwrap his second foiled delicacy. "They are staring at you."
"Excuse me?" Danny stopped eating to toss him an annoyed look.
"You are thin as a reed, and yet you are eating enough food to feed three people..." Victor shrugged, "...so, they are staring at you."
"Thanks a lot," Danny grumbled. "You sure have a way with words."
"I believe you took my words the wrong way," Victor said, frowning.
"Don't think so," Danny said through gritted teeth.
"You are uncommonly lovely. Too thin, yes, but uncommonly lovely all the same."
