"Do I really bother you?"
She rolls her eyes and slaps the newspaper down onto the table, eyes pinning him.
"Oh no! Is it obvious?" she asks, sarcastically. Dramatic, as if it's the end of the world that he'd know.
Again, he laughs. Nods.
"Like a fly bothers a spider," she continues, taking a sip of her tea.
"Careful," he grins. "I don't think your analogy there is quite correct. You see spiders tend to like flies."
He stands up, takes another bite of his half eaten toast and walks towards the archway that she's sitting nearest to. He's behind her when he leans over slightly and mutters,
"They even eat them."
