Katie took a deep breath standing where she was and walked so as to approach the couch. She flopped down on the couch. Merry wanted to say something to her. But she hadn't figured out what or how to.
Finally, Merry figured that Katie probably didn't want to hear anything right now. So she just sat down beside her. She thought Katie would prefer, if she just be there for her without saying anything.
They both sat there in silence. William was back after tending to Henry's nose bleed after a while.
"Is he okay?" Katie asked William.
"Are you worried about him? Then why did you hit him in the first place?"
William's words sounded accusatory but Merry knew he didn't mean them. It was visible in his face that he just wanted to tease Katie.
"He is such a douchebag. He started first. And he always does this, when his ego is hurt."
Katie jerked up on her feet and went back to her room getting frustrated.
