Antigone heard his approach and heard his voice but didn't turn from her mirror just yet. She steeled herself for the sight of him was sure to hurt her even now. THey had shared so much love.
"Ohhhhh no you did not just call My Antigone by anything other than her proper name! How dare you. Miss Antigone I do hope he isn't a suitor because he is a raggamuffin of a man. Not as lovely as the men that come through these halls!"
Antigone's mouth dropped open as her mirror insulted Malachi. She felt the urge to giggle but she held it in. "Mirror, it's perfectly fine, he and I are old friends," she said with emphasis on the last word.
Turning to see him she was shocked. "Malachi you do look like Hell. What? Has your child's mother not been caring for you like she should? Haven't bounced onto the next woman? And you may call me Miss McArdle whilst in my work area, please." she said as she narrowed her eyes at him and spit the venomous words. |
