It was an extremely quiet ride back home.

And through it all I could almost feel her withdrawal. I didn’t know if it was because she had been so startled by the entire exchange, or if it solely had to do with me. I wasn’t used to not getting the answers I needed since I could infiltrate anywhere that I needed to, but this time around it frustrated me that there was no way to guess what she was thinking in her mind.

I was furious that she could be so vulnerable, and that someone so detestable had once been in her life. It made me immensely unhappy. This was unreasonable, I was aware I couldn’t blame her, and now he was the pebble in our shoe, and I wanted to crush him to pieces.

I didn’t bother looking at her but from time to time, I could feel her gaze turning to me and then looking away. I wanted to comfort and console her, but I didn’t know if I could hide my anger yet, so I took the time of the drive to calm down.

When we arrived at my apartment’s garage, I turned the engine off but couldn’t quite bring myself to just get out of the car without saying a word to her. It would no doubt send the message that I was annoyed with her and that was the last thing I wanted. So, I turned, and thankfully the underground was lit enough for me to clearly see her face.

It was void of expression, and this didn’t make me happy when I knew that she was feeling so much more but trying her best to hide it.

It made me realize in this vulnerable state, I had made her feel anything but safe, and once again remorse overwhelmed me.

So, for once I decided to truly open my heart to her, and to share what I truly felt.

“I’m terrible at this,” I said, and for the first few seconds she remained unresponsive. But then slowly, she turned to face me. She still didn’t meet my gaze. She was far from timid as a person, so I understood her caution and hesitation and perhaps even shock at how the entire situation was developing. It was unpleasant and aggravating, and I didn't expect that she wouldn’t feel equally as exasperated at it.

“Terrible at what?” she asked, her tone much lower than usual.

“Explaining myself… and why I’m reacting so strongly.”

She smiled, and it surprised me. And this time around, our gazes met.

“What is it?” I asked and could feel the ice thawing in my heart as she tried but failed to control her smile.

“You’re cute,” she said, and at this I scowled.

“What?”

“Which do you think would make me feel better?” she asked. “That you remained seemingly unaffected, or that you lost your shit?”

I truly wasn’t sure of the answer that she wanted, so I decided to say what I thought was best.

“Neither?”

She paused, her gaze lifting to the car’s ceiling. “Hm…”

“Am I wrong?” I asked, and her smile this time around was more unrestrained.
