I looked at his furrowed eyebrows, his confused expression. His tone was curious, almost detached, but she no longer saw the anger that had been etched onto his face. "I'm not sure, " I murmured, looking into his eyes. " Do I need a reason?" He hadn't pushed her away, wasn't annoyed with her, hadn't walked back into the building with a sullen expression on his face.
I sighed. "Here's my reason, then, if you really want one." I looked at the lighter lying on the ground, felt a smile touch my lips. "I kissed you to distract you from your anger, Allistair. You look kinder, now."
I rubbed my eyebrow in exhaustion. It wasn't even noon yet, and I was ready to call it a day. Of course, I wouldn't. I always pushed myself farther, to stay strong. I had to. Could I tell him? I wondered. Could I tell him what happened? Even if I could, would I?
I decided not to, for now.
