"No, I don't expect you will. But. I threw a lot at you. You deserve a little time to digest. 'Cool off' in the sense of resting. Not... anything else." He offers her a lopsided smile. "I never really stop being angry either. Once it gets deep enough in you, it stays. In one form or another."
He won't go into the forms.
"I'll see you for guitar lessons. Of course. That doesn't change."
She nods. That's how it feels. Like her anger is here to stay.

you then."

usual form, to be weightless underwater. She takes the the MP3 player with
her, not planning to wait for instructions to figure out how to make it
play music. That will keep her occupied for awhile.
