There was a moment of silence in the room. Bella could feel her chest tightening with every moment passed, wondering what he'd say—if anything. Jamie's usually stoic expression shifted from confusion to frustration to pure fury, and for a moment Bella wondered if she should pull out her wand again so she could apparate away if Jamie lost his temper. He was certainly a simple, down-to-Earth sort of man, but definitely one with a narrow mind—hence her surprise when he took a breath and responded with calmness.
"Magic," she responded just as simply, intentionally avoiding his gaze. She scanned the floors as if they were the most interesting thing in the world, noting the dirt that he'd dragged in despite wearing no shoes. "There was so much dirt and dust when I started. I just thought it would be more comfortable. For you, for the pups..." She bit down on her bottom lip. She peeked up at him hesitantly, blue eyes meeting brown ones. "I, um—I left food in the kitchen. I'll just go put the sheets where they belong and I'll leave you be. You probably want some alone time," she added, knowing that the further he walked into the shack, the more drastic the changes got—and she was not prepared for that wrath.
