November Drabble: NO THANK YOU
It's now Thanksgiving season, but let's mix this up a little. Give me a drabble incorporating the phrase "No thank you" in some way. Break it up. Use it all at once. Whatever. Just put "No" "Thank" and "You" in there somewhere. Wanna win? Here are the rules: Exactly 100 words using conventional spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Prose only. Poetry will be mocked, cussed, and set afire. I'll pick a winner sometime around December 2.

Sincere Gratitude
There’s no denying it.
…I truly can’t understand.
I stand here with him, and something just doesn’t feel right.
How can he be unfazed?
How can he stand to face me?
I step back, my insides revolting, and he moves forward—EYES FILLED WITH CONCERN.
“No, stop!” my voice cracks as if wanting to cry but truly unable to.
He INSTANTLY obeys my shout and frowns worriedly.
It honestly repulses me.
I clench my hands and snap, “’Thank you’. Is that what you want?"
He flinches, his mouth shut closed.
“Ok, then. Thank you. Thank you for covering up my cheating!”
