It was an unexpected level of generosity.

Medea could take charge, but she was always nitpicking.

One minute, the documentation was missing, the next it was proof of something else.

If something was missing, why not just say it clearly all at once instead of causing repeated back–and–forth?

“You’re still too polite. If it were me, I’d kick him in the face and see how he stays arrogant, Belle flailed her arms in the passenger seat, I’m the Kung Fu Queen! I could pin him down and rub his face in the ground

Eliza, whose mood had been sour, couldn’t help but laugh at Belle’s words. So. Kung Fu Queen, where do you want to eat dinner?”
