"Wait, Vanessa, you just wanted to return my umbrella?"
Ethan let out a sigh of relief after confirming the situation.
On the other side, Vanessa blinked in confusion. "Yeah, what else did you think?"
"I thought…"
Ethan was momentarily speechless, feeling a bit frustrated inside.
It's all Vanessa's fault for being so vague.
If you're just returning an umbrella, why not say it clearly? Anyone would've misunderstood the way you phrased it!
Ethan really wanted to report her for impersonating a succubus!
He let out an awkward laugh and continued, "Yeah, I thought you were just returning my umbrella too."
"???" Vanessa's face was a picture of confusion.
"Never mind, forget it." Ethan tried to play it cool and moved on from the topic.
There's no way he could say what he was really thinking, right? She'd think he was some kind of narcissist.
