Bonesplinter Ravine Nod my head, don’t close my eyes

She saw the pain in his eyes, and there was a time when that would have made her heart ache. But now all she felt was numb. Whatever he felt about her, whatever hurt he felt over what he had done, she didn't care. What he had done was unforgivable. And now she had no strength to try and change him or try and fight whatever he wanted her to do. 

She stayed where she was even when he turned his back on her, too broken to try and run again. Let's go, he told her. The words were soft and confusing—like he was saying something completely different with them. But he hadn't; he was asking her to get inside a horrible pit and spend the night there like the prisoner she now was. When he asked again, she stood and limped forward, her gaze glued to the ground in front of her. 

When they got to the ravine, she would merely look down inside with an empty expression and wait for him to do what he always did—hurt her.
