Tori approached the bed and, with a casual glance, informed me that Derek didn't look too bad from her perspective. This comment elicits a glare from me, but Tori continues, sharing her preferences in athletes while teasing about Derek's physique. Her playful attitude adds a lightness to the tense situation.
As I leaned closer to Derek, trying to rouse him quietly, Tori's comments about her ideal type and comparisons to Derek's build irritate me further. Her attempts at humor fall flat in the moment, showcasing the dynamic between the characters as I attempt to navigate my feelings amidst the tension.
