You have my mind spinning in circles with this one @erh.germany, this is brilliantly and creatively written. Nicely done!

So,
The foxy lady appears as a protagonist but is actually an antagonist in disguise?

His demeanor is off-putting to her for some reason, and so she slyly enacts a cunning ploy, one which works.

Now she:
"and me? I have to wait until someone tells me to be happy."

It's a double edge sword whether or not her intention works, and does not address the reason she is projecting this intention.

My mind is blown.
As always I love your work my friend, thank you for this one :)
