Kyle had to turn his head away a bit, to hide the smile that was threatening to break out.
Sayuri really did play Sarah like a fiddle.
It may not seem like much, but every gesture, look, and words were meant to make Sarah lose control. Sayuri was staking her claim over him while making Sarah feel inferior, causing the latter to fight to stay on top.
"Yes, Sarah, what did you mean when you said that?" Kyle asked, his face clearly unhappy.
Sarah gulped, and stepped forward, her hand up to touch Kyle as she said, "No, that's not what I meant, Kyle. I just meant that ... that you ... "
Sayuri took a step to the side, effectively stopping Sarah from getting close to Kyle.
"You can say what you want to say from over there," Sayuri said, waving her hand and shooing Sarah away like she was some annoying pest, "We can hear you very well from that distance."
Sarah glared at Sayuri, who was practically right in front of her face now.

Have a great weekend, folks! See you again on Monday!
No cliffs, right?
