"Because I knew you'd react like this."
"Too true."

If what he had said before irritated her... this just enraged her.
"React like what, exactly?"

"Like this," he persisted. "Getting suspicious. Asking questions. What, did you think that this was another Chloe thing?"
He stopped dead, pulled up short.
He didn't mean that.
"Yes we did."

Madeleine pulled away from his side, outraged. "I'm sorry?! Another Chloe thing? Lee, she was all over you - of course I was going to be suspicious!"

"Well, Will wasn't all over me!" he cried, jumping up too. "But you're still suspicious- you're still asking me dodgy questions..." he trailed off suddenly, and his eyes hardened. "You still don't trust me."

Madeleine immediately backed down, speaking calmly and deciding to go for the truth. "No, I do trust you, Lee, honestly. But I just... I worry. Not about you, it's just... well, all these girls are falling for you - what if someone did catch your eye? What if there was someone that you... that you liked better than me?"
Okay, stupid Madeleine. Admitting defeat - and then saying that.

That stunned Lee into silence. And usually, that would've killed off his anger. Any ill feeling would be gone- and he would take Madeleine in his arms and just... just kiss her. But Libba was stubborn. Libba was persistant. And once Libba had hold of something, she never, ever let go. He could feel her inside him now, wrestling against his ebbing anger and refiring it; strapping it down and bending it to her cruel will...
His head was aching.
"You're an idiot," he told her fiercely. "You're really a bloody idiot."

Those words sent a wave of shock running through her.
Usually, if she said something like that, Lee would logically talk to her about it - because Lee was logical.
This wasn't like him at all.
"What is wrong with you?" she hissed.

Lee turned away from her, looking up towards the sky and its darkening clouds.
"We should go in," he said coldly.

Madeleine stood up, lifting her bag. "Yes, we should," she said, in a cutting tone that was enough to give an Eskimo frostbite, before turning on her heel and heading back up to the school.
