Cloe's mouth opened as she stared at Ved. Her mouth looked like a fish's, opening and closing constantly. Ved got an impossibly happy looking smile on his face - one that Cloe didn't share with him.
"Cloe…" He whispered, walking to her slowly. She suddenly did something that hurt him like nothing had ever hurt him before. She ducked away from him. "Cloe, what's wrong? It's just me, Ved…" She shook her head 'no' sadly and continuously.
"No…not Ved. Ved's not here, he'll never be here." She whispered to herself softly, shaking her head, as though shaking it like that were going to get rid of him. Ved was suddenly very confused.
"Cloe, what is it? What is it, beautiful?" He asked her softly. She started to hug herself fiercely and started shaking her head harder, so much harder in fact, Ved was worried she was going to do some serious damage to herself. "Cloe, stop that, stop that." To his surprise she did just that, and was looking up at him with blurry eyes.
"What is it, Clo?" She sniffed.
"Not beautiful." She whispered to him. His eyes widened.
"What are you talking about? Of course you're-"
"-ugly."
