Instead, his incredulous anger falls away instantly, leaving genuine bewilderment and a little bit of hurt in its wake. "I'm - not trying to make you feel like shit," Eliot says slowly.

"And every time you say something about it, about how awful the whole thing was, it makes me feel - I mean, can't you hear the way it sounds, from my perspective?"

"It's revisionist history to pretend we both had a jolly good time with that fucking puzzle."
