You hurt my feelings, you know. It’s like you don’t trust…
““You hurt my feelings, you know. It’s like you don’t trust my judgment.” I watched a tan rabbit hop into the forest and had the sudden urge to follow it, thinking of Wonderland. “I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings, and I do trust your judgment …” He trailed off, then continued. “But I think you don’t realize how deceitful they really are.””
