Trying

"Are you trying to make this harder than it has to be? ARE YOU?" Clark blasted as he spun around, his face turning red. "Are you TRYING to make me crazy?" "Yes?" Don answered (with a shrug). "Wait ... what?" Peter said next, looking confused. "Me, too," Paula said, nodding. "Totally." "What in the actual fu-- ," Clark began, but Don held up his hand. "There is no one on the face of the planet who loves being bunged more than you, Dude. Winding you up is an act of love; it's like we saddle your high horse so that you can ride." He reached out and touched the shoulder of his friend warmly and Paula smiled. "I'm an asshole," Clark whispered (not knowing how to feel), and Paula kept nodding.
