there's light at the edge of the darkness
Loren almost snarled at Phoebe’s analysis, but he kept himself from doing anything but raising his eyebrows. ”It was conversation about me, that I wasn’t present for, about something deeply personal, so I’m going to give it whatever connotation I want. Don't tell me how I'm supposed to feel about something.” She could talk about how mean and stupid he was and how he was misconstruing the situation all she wanted: he wasn’t going to change his mind about how he felt about this. And he was perfectly within his rights to feel however the fuck he wanted.
As she gaped at him, his eyes just narrowed. ”Keep your apologies. I don’t want them.” And great, now she was backing off her earlier statements. At least when she’d been blighted she’d had the courage to stick to her convictions. He rolled his eyes at this latest sign of her weakness. However, her comment about not being romantically involved with either of them made absolutely no sense to him, so he ignored it.
When she talked about knowing how he felt, though, he gave her a scathing look. ”Keep your empathy too. And don’t you dare try to compare your romantic failures with my situation. You don’t know me, or how I feel.” Yeah, he’d heard about the healers troubles with men, and while it was cruel to throw that in her face, he wasn’t feeling particularly sympathetic, kind, or polite at the moment.
Because unlike her and her string of partners, Remi and Loren did love each other. Supposedly. And that was the problem, not whatever it was that was going on with Phoebe.
