”I’d rather drown.”
Ford was feeling hurt and betrayed because of his muse, the true intentions you had really did hurt.
“Thanks for treating me like every person you meet.” He spat out at you as his fists clenched, he couldn’t believe he fell for your stupid flattery. That he even fell for you in the first place.
“This is the part where I learn, and you will teach on how you treat people like a piece of meat.” He argued, you were amused by his anger and how he even fell for everything in the first place.
”I’ll never cross that bridge again, I cannot trust you easily.” He continued, you really did just use him as a puppet. A pawn to do your bidding, which he followed your word and flattery.
“I’d rather drown.” Ford never wanted to trust anyone again just to be betrayed, he hated you for the things you did.
