"Wow," said Rachel, eyes wide as she sat back, fingers nervously in her mouth. "Wow you kicked his arse, Danny."
"Very well said, both of you," Cai said, trying to smile. Ross was disappointed in him? Why? Cai was struck by the unfairness of it. Ross was in no position to be disappointed - apart from being the parent - and it wasn't fair to use that as a weapon to make Cai feel bad.
It had worked, too, even if Cai could see that hurting him to get him to comply had been Ross's intention. This man was still a part of him, and even if Cai had decided he was done with this relationship, it wasn't as easy as just wanting it. I'm disappointed in you. There were few other sentences that could get to Cai so quickly. He tried so hard to be good.
