That was enough. Romilda couldn't hold back any longer and she started to cry. She could never imagine Dennis saying anything so hurtful to her before that moment. She had thought they were friends. Good friends.
Embarrassed to be crying, she tried to hide it by sniffling back and blinking her eyes, but it was no use. "No," she said. "No I'm not going to leave you alone because no matter what you think we are friends. And I don't pity you. I think you're being a jerk right now, but I don't pity you. I'm angry because you're trying to hurt my feelings and I'm sorry that I wasn't a good friend to you, but you have to give me another chance. I promise I won't be such a bad friend."
