PASSAGE
The cafeteria smelled like pizza and bleach. Posters about kindness drooped on the walls, their corners curling.
Sloane slid into the seat across from Marcus. He was staring at his tray like it had insulted him.
"You're really not coming?" Sloane asked.
Marcus shrugged without looking up. "I'm busy."
Sloane waited. The word "busy" sat between them like a lump.
"With what?" she pressed.
Marcus's fork scraped the plastic tray. "Stuff."
Sloane's voice softened. "Marcus, it's the robotics showcase. You built half the arm."
He finally looked at her. His eyes were flat, but his jaw was tight. "I said I'm busy."
Sloane felt her patience snap like a rubber band. "Fine."
Marcus blinked. "Fine?"
Sloane pushed her chair back. It squealed against the floor. "Fine," she repeated, but this time it sounded different even to her.
Marcus stared after her as she walked away. He wanted to call her back. He didn't.
In an audio version, why might the repeated line "Fine" be understood differently than in silent reading?
