She saw his posture melt as he slouched farther. He seemed so broken, she wanted to help him but it didn't seem as if she could. Elise pulls her hand away and clasps them behind her back, looking down as he spoke, feeling as if she was in trouble. Soon, his words made her angry, she clenched her jaw and lifted her head to look at him. Her eyes narrowed just as his did. "A story still has meaning. I'm sorry you are tormented. I know that I don't know the burden you carry," she seemed to growl slightly as she spoke. "I never claimed it would be any different. I was trying to be helpful my motives are pure." Her voice faded as she walked towards the door, flinging it open as she spoke. "You didn't have to come," Elise snapped. "You are the one who trailed my steps. You could have denied the invitation." She crossed her arms over her chest and leaned against the open door, clenching and relaxing her jaw, starting to curse herself for welcoming someone and telling him things she had. That's what she gets for being a bit too trustworthy.
