Moonspear Picture a place where it all doesn't hurt

She’d had an entire night to stew it over and had a pretty good idea of what about it had set her off. What she didn’t know was if it was reasonable and, if so, how to approach it with him without making things worse. Like she almost always managed to. (Case and point).

She gave a small smile at his comment, but it faded when she started walking through it. She’d take it at face value - she had warned him.

It isn’t that he wants to leave. If that’s actually what he needs to do, I’d be a pretty messed up sister to freak out about it. It’s that he’s definitely lying to me about why. He said he needed space from the family, but there’s no reason he’d need space from anyone but me. It wasn’t like he’d had any issues visiting Phox and Towhee first.

I’m tired of everyone always assuming the worst, and instead leaving me guessing on what the fuck I’m doing wrong. If there’s a problem, I want to work it out together. It feels like he doesn’t trust me.

Maybe she was entirely off base and just proving his point. Maybe he really did just need space from the entire family. If she was crazy then she could apologize again, forget any of it happened, and live with the suckiness of him not being there. But if she wasn’t, then she wasn’t sure where to go next.
