Her voice broke through the quiet air with a softness that I honestly wasn't expecting from her at all. For someone who acted like she always had everything under control—someone who strutted around like nothing in the world could faze her—hearing her speak like that made me stop for a moment. I actually blinked. I wasn't sure whether I even heard her correctly.

Well, that was something I never would've expected in a hundred years. Not from her. If anything, I thought she'd just wave me off with that smug grin of hers, maybe tease me a bit, then disappear and blueballed me like she always did. But… here she was, stopping me before I could go, sounding way too sincere for someone like her.
