“Don’t call me that!!” Harley said heatedly; and when Crane continued speaking, something snapped behind her gaze. Her face fell for a split second, tears springing to her eyes before leaking down her cheeks, but her expression grew hostile as he finished speaking. She opened her mouth to reply, but—
But then he laughed.
It wasn’t a pretty laugh like her Puddin’s; it wasn’t a laugh born of joy or humor or anything fun. It was ugly and frightening and for a moment she couldn’t breathe—and suddenly her fist was swinging towards the spindly man’s face and Harley couldn’t bring herself to care, was only aware of her own voice, yelling:
“Don’t you talk that way about me and my Puddin’!! You don’t know anythin’ about us! He loves me and I love ‘im and we’re gonna—settle down and be together forever, you’ll see! You’ll all see! I ain’t some—dumb broad, you good-for-nothin’—“
And that would, approximately, be when the guards decided to intervene.
