( Just like that, all the anger dissipates. Hers burns hot and fast when it comes around, and mingled in as it'd been with the rest, it didn't have a lot to sustain it. Especially not when he apologizes.
She laughs, or attempts to, a huff of amusement that sounds as wet and thick as her throat is. She has to swallow twice before she can say anything, and who's to say that what she does manage is worth sharing? )
Thank you.
( Is it for the apology? Or the statement? She doesn't ask, like she half wants to, for a promise. She doesn't want to deal with it getting broken somewhere down the line, if he does think he's gotten the perspective to use the tools at his disposal. )
You made a big mistake. Jerk.
( There's no heat behind it, and she tries, valiantly, to control how she's breathing. Making herself stop crying is more effort than she can muster, but she holds back on the audible sounds that want to escape.
Unfortunately, she ends up holding her breath to do so. The resulting hiccups take her first by surprise. Then it's hilarious -- annoying and hilarious. )
Oh come -- ( hic ) -- on!
( Hiccuping again, she picks her head up, even if she doesn't relax her hold on him. Not yet! Her irritated amusement gives way to helpless hiccuping laughter, the tears coming more slowly. )
