And yet, somehow, she still didn't want to admit that Mikey liked her "like that." "Why won't you believe me?" Did friends come before family now? Is that what was happening?
Standing up again, Milton still in his hands, he tried a different approach. "Dear, dear, cousin. If family isn't what you trust, than maybe you'll trust a duck." He put Milton up close in front of Hailey's face and, using the quackiest most American voice possible, "Milton" said, "Mikey loves you. I ttttthhhhhwear it!"
Now, in his own voice, Hunter whispered, "Ducks and cousins don't lie." Friends do.
Nothing. She guessed Hunter had no more to say. Maybe he had finally believed her.
Buuut, she was wrong. Now she had to look up.
"I don't believe you because...best friends don't lie to each other like that. So I know that Mikey wouldn't lie to me." Simply said.
And then he decided to shove Milton in her face and having him 'talk'. Hailey yanked her head back in surprise and listened to the duck. Well, she had to give him points for getting that voice right. But somehow, she would rather trust Hunter than his duck. Milton just didn't look that reliable, even with that adorable beak and yellow fur.
Hailey looked up at him when he whispered the last part about ducks and cousins not lying and tried not to looks skeptical. He was clearly trying to help her out.
"Okay. Okay fine," She said suddenly getting up.
"Say he
is in love with me. How come he's afraid to tell me?" She asked.
