Sleepy Fox Hollow world

Anselm turned the full of his attention upon Fiona following his last statement. He expected outcry or shock, even -- but instead, Fiona looked on him in the measured manner of a clinician.

This irritated Anselm further - for he felt that she was somehow peeling back layers of his psyche that he did not want revealed to the world. He wanted any sort of emotion besides this -- clinical interest.

It didn't occur to Anselm in that moment that she was aware of his tryst with Heda -- nor did he realize Fiona had dissected enough of his personality to connect pieces even Anselm refused to acknowledge about himself.

Vhat does that mean, romantically? The woodsman growled, wanting to leave no misconception between them. His fur prickled in a surge of jealousy that he did not bother to smooth back.
