Vi didn't break pace. "Keep talking, pretty boy. I'll punch that smirk off your face."

Hugo pushed off the wall, sauntering over. "So close. Shame about that distraction."
"You're an idiot," she muttered, trying to hide the flush creeping up her neck.
He leaned in, just enough to make her flinch. "Maybe. But I'm still undefeated."
