"Only a little hurt!" Summer protested, in direct defiance of her previous statement.
And then there was a very awkward and somewhat embarrassed pause.
"I, uh, was maybe down in the sewers. Fighting with some raccoons."
And, before he could ask or protest, or anything else, she piggyback her own comment with further explanation. "When you didn't show up at the bar on Wednesday and then I found out you weren't home after breaking into your apartment afterwards, I thought maybe they were hoping to use all these other missing people as a cover-up for kidnapping you again."
There was a sigh. A big one, with a roll of her eyes and a small shrug.
"I was....wrong. I was definitely giving those guys way too much credit."
But, like, in her defense, if she were running a weird cult centered around some dude and his mask, that was totally what she would have done!
