Gabriela stayed for a second, deep in thought, her eyes closed. When she opened them, Edwin thought she'd say that she believed him, or at least ask for proof, but she flat out slapped him, leaving a stinging feeling on his cheek.
Edwin was shocked, as Gabriela stared angrily at him, tears rolling down her cheeks. Edwin tried to talk but was instantly cut off by Gabriela.
"Are you mocking me?" She cried, tears continuing to flow. "I've lost the life I had, and how you feed me this wild story that you expect me to believe?"
"B-But it's true!" Edwin protested, not expecting this result at all.
Gabriela stared at him silently, anger still present in her gaze. "... You were such a sweet kid when I taught you. How... how could you be so cruel?"
