My Head Was Under Water

Had she been less adamant about what she wanted from Indigo, she would have been more outwardly understanding. It didn't process into her mind just what he wanted for her, he wanted her better and healed in the right ways, not burying herself in pointless relations, or even drowning out the hurt and loss by laying with him. Indigo was showing wiser, and Duchess didn't want to hear it.

Her voice was filled with hurt and frustration, certainly out of turn given Indgio's more calm and understanding behavior. "I don't need your help!" She fought tears as she shouted out at him, but turned away before he could really have a good look at her face and went to leave the den. She was hurt that he didn't want to, but she was also hurt by the reminder of the betrayal and the loss.
