So what, did you agree just so I'd tell you why? [ nope, she's nowhere near done. ] God, I feel like such an idiot. This is exactly why I didn't want you involved, but then you were so sweet and I figured hey, he wouldn't lie to me.
But not from you! [ oh, she's 100% not backing down. her arms lift out to the sides a little in a sort of exasperation. ] What did he even do to you? Nothing, literally just nothing, so when the person he actually hurt asks you to stay out of it, you don't just - [ you don't just blow her off and charge in and punch him in the freaking face, that's not how this works.
but no, okay, she's not doing this. she's not. her palms come together now, lifting up to press the sides of her index fingers over her mouth as she closes her eyes and lets out a slow-ish exhale. then: ] Y'know what, just- it's fine. That was my bad, I shouldn't have even told you. Lesson learned or whatever. [ but even that part came out harsh, and pretty much everything else she can think of's just as bad, so she needs to just... not be here right now.
she shakes her head a little. ] Look, I'm just gonna go. [ and if he doesn't try to stop her, she's heading for the door. ]
[I shouldn't have even told you. Lesson learned. It feels like everything's crashing around him at those words. He broke her trust, threw it in the trash, for what? A little revenge?
He wants to call after her, grab her hand, make her see that she's all wrong. But she's not. He messed up. And he was going to have to deal with it.
But all he can do now is stare, just barely open-mouthed, desperate, Sally's name on the tip of his tongue. He doesn't say it, doesn't reach for her. He lets her go. Because maybe... she's better off without him.]
