She has tried to cut me every time we have met.
She goes out of her way to contradict me,
Then uses phrases like "I don't mean to be rude..."
To suggest that she means exactly that.
My reaction, naturally, has been surprise.
When I don't recoil, it upsets her.
Her sharp edge glances off my indifference.
And rebounds upon her as if I were the progenitor of her rebuke.
It gives me such pleasure to see her squirm.
