What now, then? What now? She'd been prepared for anything but this.[break][break]
She stood paralyzed with indecision, a half-dozen voices competing for her next action. Run, one said, the voice she relied upon the most of the cacophony that screamed inside her mind. It was the voice that had driven her out of Kalos into Hoenn, burying the sins of her past in the roses and rot. Get as far away from him as you can, and let this all be behind you.[break][break]
Although she couldn't do that. To do that would make him suspicious of what she'd just given him, rendering all this grueling effort pointless. She couldn't risk that.[break][break]
Specifically, she couldn't risk angering declan walsh. So no, running was not an option.[break][break]
Reject him, another familiar, sneering voice hissed in the back of her mind. This was the voice that had gleefully shattered wine glasses to scandalize her husband at his galas and had torrid affairs to shame him; this was the voice that had befriended the Ruinous Beast that every other part of her reviled, bound together by a pact made in blood. He seems to even enjoy it, so why not stomp on his ego? Why not remind him all this was between you was always a transaction? Put him back in his place.[break][break]
But that behavior wouldn't match the actions she'd taken here, either. It'd be inconsistent, and for all that she often underestimated him, he was more cunning than she wanted to admit.[break][break]
She waited for some better, ancient wisdom to reveal itself to her, surfacing from the murk of her thoughts like salvation. Instead, this was a quiet voice, one she often turned to on lonely nights that stung with resignation and regret.[break][break]
You can just keep pretending, that defeated voice said, and it had a meekness to it that she didn't want to examine too closely. Isn't it nicer when we pretend, anyway? Isn't it nice, to feel loved for a little while?[break][break]
Don't we like to be fooled?[break][break]
"Is this what you want?" she said then, and this time, the voice was decidedly her own. Everything else in her mind went mercifully silent, as if those voices were each forced into the submission of an unseen observer, unable to stop her from whatever actions she might take next.[break][break]
She let her hand stray to his cheek, her thumb gently brushing across his lower lip, as she once again held his gaze. An emotion she couldn't explain, but that glimmered with something akin to pity and misunderstanding, reflected in her emerald eyes.[break][break]
"Is this all you have left to ask of me?"
