█ ║► Any attempt at flimsy excuses for apologies and explanations would’ve been met with well-deserved indifference from the combat medic, had she even opened her mouth to speak to her.
Their agreement to meet was shaky at best, the blonde hadn’t exactly found herself in a particularly good headspace after their no-holds-barred screamfest. Especially when Chloé had walked with the intent of refusing to listen to her argument, even more so after she left her there post-Angela revealing how much the argument was affecting her.
Tears fell down her cheeks as she was abandoned and left to her own raw vulnerable emotion, amplified by the woman’s uncertainty towards showing her upset she was.
She had no obligation to accept an apology or even let the woman into her apartment, something that was obvious when she opened the door silently, slinking behind it as she silently gestured towards the Canadian to enter.
Once they stood apart, the blonde stood, arms-crossed, still silent as the woman closed the distance between them, expecting to hear some half-assed excuse or self-serving lie, the Swiss woman expecting to shut her down as quickly as the words came out of her mouth.
She was startled, to say the least when the woman brushed the hair behind her ears and her hands rested on her cheeks, the look of genuine regret in the neurosurgeon’s eyes spoke volumes in the silence as the blonde remained sceptical of the woman’s actions.
The younger woman’s lips pressed against her own as she found herself leaning into the kiss, her lips parting further at the small nips she felt on her lower lip, finding herself reaching for the woman as she nipped her bottom lip in response.
Finding her hands unoccupied, she began fiddling as the woman leaned off her, her mind split between the intention behind the kiss and disappointment of it’s briefness.
Her eyes focused in on the look in the woman’s eyes once more as she heard her utter her few words after their argument.
A moment of levity fell between them as she mentally perused each word that had left the woman’s mouth.
❝ -- thank you. For saying that. ❞
❝ We’ve a lot to talk about. Though given your choice of action, I’m not so sure my focus could be solely on the discussion. ❞
