The water rushed over Hailey, but she paid almost no attention to it. She shut her eyes and stood as her self-anger grew.
How could I have been so careless? I should never have cut it that close; getting caught wasn’t worth the chance to have an accident! Erin didn’t seem to be too mad, but she’d also seemed too shocked to be thinking clearly. Hailey didn’t know what Erin’s attitude would be when she returned to the room, as Erin would have had time to think about Hailey’s words, and might very well choose to be insulted. And I couldn’t blame her for it, realized Hailey. I’ve just shown her that her problem is no more than a game to me.
