Ellie’s reflection was blurry. If she closed the bad eye it was less so, but the tears that remained in the good one weren’t helping. Her hair was a mess, her bad eye was swollen and purple, and she had on pyjamas with donuts on them. Not exactly how she wanted Maverick to see her, but she wasn’t really in a seductive mood. He knocked on the door, and she tried to fix her hair anyway as she went to answer it.
She opened the door and was annoyed with the butterflies in her stomach when she opened it. But it was a better feeling than the empty guilt she’d felt the past 24 hours, so she smiled a bit, despite herself. “Sorry I look like a train hit me. It was, in fact, just a small girl,” she said, feeling very small herself as she opened the door wider for him to come in.
Immediately upon seeing her his entire body hurt “oh fuck, Ellie” he stepped inside and closed to door behind him before he pulled her into his arms. “I’m sorry you feel like this, you don’t deserve any of this”. He was such a mix of emotions, he was angry, and sad and hurt and he just wanted to make it all go away for her.
