" What drink will you take?" Thea asked Penelope tersely as she was not very familiar with her at that moment. A lot of things had changed and they were like strangers to each other once again. " The usual, my favorite. " With a nod, Thea handed a mug of coffee to Penelope and sat across, silently seeping her drink, seemingly unbothered by the silence looming within the air, acting as if the person seating across her had nothing to do with her. Unable to tolerate the uncomfortable silence, Penelope raised an eyebrow and spoke sarcastically "Why are you acting as if I am the one who wronged you? shouldn't you be apologizing to me? Why are you in such a grumpy mood? I should be the one sulking okay? Back then, you betrayed me. You betrayed our friendship.
