There was no denying that his words hurt, cut through her like a knife. What a thing to say to a friend. Well, at least she’d thought they were friends, to the woman who had brought him back from the dead…
But maybe that was just it…
After all, who could attach, or even stay attached to a freak like her?
“…I don’t know, either. Who’d ever want to be attached to me. God, must be bloody awful to have to suffer so.” she managed, wielding her words as weapons. “But fuck you very much, Pietro, so glad to know that it was such a burden to have me around.”
He just stared at her, trying his best not to cut her off and tell her that it wasn’t what he had meant. Of course the damage had been done and he stared at her with as much guilt as he could muster, attempting to convey it in as many simple words as he could.
But she was right. He should not have said something like that. Not to her. Not ever to her.
Finally he broke his gaze from hers and he blinked away whatever emotions were heavily stored within them. “I have heard that getting attached is the worst you could do.” he stated, finally looked to her again. “I have already died once, Wynter...what happens if I do again and I am still attached here?”
“It was not what I meant.”
