"What!" Vanna's voice practically croaked when Koda told her about Maisy when they were back at their place and True was conked out in his crib.
Koda squinted hard and told her not to wake the baby.
This all made Vanna so bitter. "I thought we were friends." She snarled a scowl.
"Now don't get like that," Koda followed her around to make sure she didn't throw anything in a fit of anger. She didn't.
"She never told me, anything. Nothing," Vanna pouted aa she crossed her arms. Of course, Koda uncrossed them and hugged her as if she meant the world to him and she hugged him trying not to be so mad.
"And now there's a baby," Vanna snapped. "Poor Harry."
"Well, he's taking it just fine," Koda pulled back to tell her this.
"I just bet he is," she didn't believe him. "It must have broken his heart."
Vanna went to sit on the couch, she drummed her fingers in thought on the arm of the couch, trying to figure out the whole timeline while Koda fetched her a glass of cool water on the dining table. Maybe Daisy didn't know then. Or what if something bad happened to her when she was in New York City? Her mind was running with so many scenarios. She still worried about Maisy, but Maisy cut her off and hadn't even texted her.
"You think she was pregnant when she left?" She looked to Koda.
"I have no idea," Koda looked at her blankly as if he might be the weakest link in this detective team.
Vanna was steamed. "I put so much hard work, in getting to know her, and everything and then it's like she just leaves and never speaks to me again." She couldn't even muster up a tear, but he was still mad, "What did I ever do to her?" She snapped
"Sometimes, it's like that," Koda shrugged as he sat next to her and pulled his arm around her. "My mom knew lots of women, but when trouble happened, they usually shut down, like it was no use to talk about it."
Vanna drank her water, but she felt so emotional. She didn't want to have a temper, but they needed to find Maisy.
"Now don't go getting all-"
"All what?" her brow furrowed as she looked at him.
"You know," he grinned at her and touched her little nose, "You look a lot like Angry Birds, but so much cuter."
She wanted to bite his finger, but in a flash he changed that when he kissed her. Yeah, he always knew how to deflate her anger.
A kiss can be very helpful when deflating anger.

Hello!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a good kiss to calm anyone down ehehehhe!
These stories are real life stories and because they're so real, they're believable and not like the ones we think would never happen in real life!
Have a happy and creative week! Hugs
Thanks so much for your comment.
DeleteI love that part where Koda said "I have no idea" like he was the weakest detective chain link. lol and awww. I like Vanna
ReplyDeleteOh, it is fun to write about Vanna. Of course, it isn't easy being her better half, either.
DeleteA kiss killed the anger, very nice!
ReplyDeleteMe gusto el fragmento. Tan apasionado. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteEverything that is lost can be found, and anger is eased when there is true forgiveness between the parties.

Well, to Vanna's defence, sometimes, it's good to let it all out. That's good that Koda knows what to do to kinda calm her down. Great chapter as always, Ellie. And hope you're having a good Lent as well! Finished Bad and Crazy awhile back with Lee Dong Wook, and now trying to finish Season 14 of Supernatural:)
ReplyDeleteDear Ellie hope all is well with you and yous!
ReplyDeleteAnd hope blizzard is gone and weather is friendly now.
I enjoyed the hype of various emotions in this episode. I agree that there must be a one person at least to whom one can share his feelings.keeping inside creates volcanic activity in long run .
Thanks for the wonderful series
vanna seems like a nice person!

This passage does a great job of showing the emotional tension between Vanna and Koda, as well as Vanna's internal struggle over Maisy’s disappearance. You can really feel her frustration and sense of betrayal, especially with how much effort she put into building her relationship with Maisy. The dynamic between Vanna and Koda is sweet, though; he knows how to calm her down with humor and affection, which adds a lighthearted contrast to the emotional weight of the situation. It feels real, showing how people react differently to conflict, and Koda’s playful teasing softens the mood in a tender way.
