"Now, why are you upset?"
I make angry noises as I clench my fists, my quill in danger of breaking in half. "I'm not!"
Washington chuckles. "You aren't. Right."
I stand up as tall as I can, only reaching his chest. Angry tears sprout in my eyes. Why am I so short?! It's making me so mad!
I start to cry. "Just let me lead, goddammit!!!!!"
He chuckles. "Go hang out with Laurens and Lafayette and Mulligan, ok?"
I gladly stomp off, angrily muttering to myself.
Laurens sees me and slings an arm around me. "What's wrong, baby girl?"
Lafayette chuckles. "He must have said no to him leading again."
"I know I can do it! I want to fight! I don't want to be stuck at a desk when there's fighting going on!"
Hercules braids my hair, making me calm down. "No one doubts that, lil guy."
"I bet he'd scare all those lobsters away with just his facial expressions." Gilbert chuckles, looking at a ring on his finger. Thinking of Adrienne, like he does a lot these days. I wonder what she is like?
