Hmm?” Another poke. “I’ll tell you!” Arms flailed upward. “Absolutely nowhe—”

Prompt: "You're an asshole."
' “I was not drunk.”
“That’s the only piece you took from that?! Really?!” She finally looked at him, fury etched into every line of her face. The sight of him leaning nonchalantly back into the couch was almost enough to throw her over the edge.

If he was mad at her he would have yelled back, Chuck did righteous indignation very well. This was Chuck when he knew he was in the wrong but didn’t know how to admit it. She almost pitied him.'
