she fights every urge to protest against him soloing , their little pit stop. even has to bite the inside of her cheek , to keep from voicing her disagreement. so instead , suni waits patiently for seth to return back to the car. " yeah , i'm ready. " is the put out response given back to him , while starting the engine back up. reasonably , she understands that he probably isn't ready for her to tag along. not for tight now , at least. still though ━━ it leaves suni feeling utterly useless. a feeling that she absolutely hates.
" i meant it when i said it wouldn't bother me , you know. " it's the first that she speaks up , since leaving the butcher shop. " let me guess , you don't want my help carrying anything up into the apartment either. i'll see you inside , i guess. " is it fair to lash out at seth ? no , but after hours of trying to convince him that she's indifferent to the new development ━━ it feels like a losing battle.
it's a beeline to the bed , the moment she steps inside. figuring a shower can wait until she's caught up on sleep , she falls face-first onto the bed. and just like magic , almost all of the previous frustration melts away. especially as she feels seth crawl in , alongside her. even as she props herself up , to look over at him. " so do i at least still get cuddles or am i not useful enough for those , either ? "
