"My what a beautiful hare dress you're wearing! I love your blonde hare style," Peter gushed, giving her his stale old harelines. The whiffs of bad air, from his hare lips, twitched her nose up. She stared down at him, giving him the silent treatment, and a real hare cut. By a hare's breath, she was unwilling to give his other qualities their proper hare due, even though he was her perfect counterpartner.
