“Quit moaning,” Bodie remained unsympathetic, “and don’t exaggerate. It was only a few drops. Told you before to keep some Kleenex handy.”
“You don’t normally make a mess.” Doyle wriggled his rump on the sheet. “I’m sitting on a wet patch.”
Bodie huffed. “Why didn’t you use both hands? Over confident, that’s your trouble.” With a glare, he continued, “I warned you not to put it there. So much for giving you a helping hand. Next time you do it yourself.”
Doyle looked contrite. “Ta for the mug of tea,” he said. “At least it didn’t slop in your direction.”
