Scones and Scolding

“You called for those scones. Nearly every day. You asked for them, Mr. Lightwood. Why would you do that if you didn’t want them?”

His cheeks darkened. “It was the only way I could think to see you. You wouldn’t speak to me, wouldn’t listen when I tried to talk to you–“

“So you lied?” Seizing up her fallen cap, Sophie rose to her feet. “Do you have any idea how much work I have to do, Mr. Lightwood? Carrying up coal and hot water, dusting, polishing, cleaning up after you and the others– and I don’t mind or complain, but how dare you make extra work for me, make me drag heavy trays up and down the stairs, just to bring you something you don’t even want?”

Yeahhh, I did the coloring in dim lamplight in the middle of the night (not my most brilliant idea) so the coloring doesn't look great. Anyways, this is Sophie and Gideon right after she finds the scones under his bed.
