Golden Glade Get Lonely

Laurel didn't know what to say, feeling uncomfortable and not knowing what she could do about it. She was slowly coming onto the realisation that things'd simply never be the same again, no matter what they did. And she could sense that he felt the same, from the way that he moved to the way he talked around her. He was clearly uncomfortable and she wondered if it was because he could see nothing but the monster that tried to kill his son when he looked at her. She was officially an adult now but felt nothing like it.

"Oh," she said, not knowing what to say. She wasn't very happy she came. She just came because she had nowhere else to go. Because no matter how much she wanted to leave, she didn't know how to.

Then, suddenly, "Why?" It had come out before she realised, and it wasn't intended, but now that she had said it she looked at him, awaiting an answer, and hoping that it'd be convincing enough to make her believe it.
