Bab 608: Remorse

"Did you not for a moment think that she might not have wanted to go out with you? I mean jumping from liking a girl to assuming that she has some feelings for her stepfather is quite a jump...."

Before Pierce could answer, Gregory stood up, his face a mask of sorrow and regret. "Your Honor, if I may," he began, his voice heavy with emotion. Gabe turned to look at the man and almost stopped. Dar*! This rat should have been an actor... His expression was exactly spot on as that of a martyr. His eyes narrowed as he turned to look at the judge, whose expression had softened too. 

Sigh! It seemed they would have to prepare for a dramatic and hypocritical performance. He walked back to the table and sat next to Autumn who was even now glaring at the man.

Gabe leaned in closer to Autumn, whispering softly, "Easy there, tiger. Save that anger for later. We don't want you burning holes into anyone just yet."
