Quote by Kresley Cole
Ah, damn it, lass,'he called after her. 'I've busted my stitches wide open.''What?'she cried, hurrying back to him. 'Let me see!''Ah-ha!' He snared her around the waist, dragging her down with him to his lap.'You still care for me!
Summary
In this quote, the character has injured himself and is pretending it's worse than it actually is to get the attention of the person he loves. By feigning a serious injury, he manipulates her concern, implying that her immediate reaction reveals her lingering feelings for him. The quote suggests that he is seeking confirmation of her affections and takes advantage of her genuine care while playfully teasing her about it.
