Vivian blinked again. Well then. That had certainly put her in her place, hadn't it? The comment about her 'detective work' and how it was sure to be 'very important', plus the tone he'd taken with her had been completely unnecessary, and she sniffed, horrified with herself to find that tears were pricking the backs of her eyes. 'I'm tired,' She reasoned with herself, trying to shake it off. Also, she really didn't want to cry in front of Delia. How undignifying.
She wasn't quite sure what to say, so she simply continued to stare at Slater for a moment before giving a curt nod of her head and mumbling a quiet, "Okay." Then she turned around and left the room, going back to the bedroom and getting back into bed. But she wasn't sure she could go back to sleep now.
