To say Martha was off-put by her girlfriend’s curt reply would be correct; she didn’t even think about her own comment, let alone how it might clash with Alex. She opened her mouth to respond, but cut herself off upon the other’s additional words.
The redhead could feel her stomach knotting and twisting the more Alex went on about parents and raising and responsibility, she could even feel tears prickling at the corners of her eyes from how much it added to the physical pain she was already feeling. Leaning her head back, a pained groan sounded from the taller mechanic, arms wounding tighter around her abdominal region.
“Th..Thanks..” Martha managed, defeatedly curling up while laying on her side instead. Once Alex had left the room, a hand came up to rub at her forehead and temples, What has she gotten into thanks to a mindless offhand comment..?
