Well... now Grayson felt bad.
Which had not been the point of confronting her at all. He didn't even feel the smallest inkling of smug or justified. What was it about crying women that rendered him incapable of even the most basic of cognitive functions? She just looked so helpless fiddling with her nails and blinking back tears and he knew that was sexist of him but he had too many sisters to be invulnerable to the effect. Grayson considered that she was trying to pull another fast one on him, but that was fine.
She deserved the win because she was pretty and he was pathetic.
"Are you hungry?" He still had his hands on his hips. The question had the tone of someone that wasn't going to take no for answer. If only because so much of his pride was at stake. "Gather up all..." he gestured vaguely at her ill-gotten gains spread over the bathroom counter. "...your stuff. I'll wait outside and when you're ready we can get a cheeseburger."
He turned around again, and exited for real this time. Maybe she wouldn't come out. Maybe she would just sit in the mall bathroom and wait him out until he got frustrated and stormed off. Which was...also fine, he reasoned with himself. Her loss, really.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
