" let me guess, this is the part where you tell me you value my brain and not just my body ? " she fights to keep her eyes from rolling, a huff of angelic laughter. " because i've heard that before, many times. it's always bullshit. so save it. "

it isn't like her to get hurt by things. she learned a long time ago how to numb herself, take personal feelings out of every equation. but when it comes to max, it proves difficult. something which unsettles and infuriates her at the same time. a reminder that she's not so immune to caring after all. " i thought you trusted me, saw me as an equal. " a foolish idea when he was so above her, and in their world she'd always be seen as less than. " but you don't, do you ? that's why you're hiding things from me. keeping me in the dark. " and it's driving her crazy, because she fears he may be in some kind of trouble. all she wants to do is help.
