HPM: Gale's Confusion

"He didn't quite make contact, and Abbigale took that as her chance. She gripped his wrist, with less force his time, and held it there. In her face went, ignoring, once again, personal boundaries. She moved as though to press her lips to his, and, indeed, she was a fraction of a centimeter away when she paused. "Why do I stop hating?" She whispered, locking her eyes into his own. But, then, she moved, her face grazing on right along his, her mouth pausing just at his ear. "Why can't I hurt you?"

Todd and Abbigale have had an roller coaster of a day.
Todd falls, losing his groceries only to have Gale approach and taunt him.
He eventually goes to get back a potato she stole, but ends up getting shoved over her knee, the spud jammed into his mouth, which results in him punching her.
_{That's right, Todd punched a woman. He's a monster!;A;}

Feeling terrible about this, he finally talks her into letting him help her clean up her swollen muddy bloody face.
So Gale is just plain confused as to why Todd is such a nice guy xD

Gale's cheek is red since Todd lost a little control.
They're also a little muddy since they've fallen on the muddy ground a bit xD
So no romance here, besides Todd having a heart attack about a woman being so close to him.
