    Summary

    She wished she’d said nothing, now. Wished she’d nodded and smiled and said ‘Oh, what an interesting mystery, enjoy yourselves’. It would have been a lie and Bran would have noticed, eventually. Eventually he would have looked at her. Eventually he would have heard it in her voice when he paid attention.

    or

    Leah's life is, like, so totally hard.

    Summary

    Bran had made it clear to Leah – politely but firmly, a small twist to his mouth – that he would never love her and therefore he would never make love to her. Leah, because she had been raised plain-speaking, had not understood the nuance and she had dismissed it as some kind of romantic nonsense. Flowery talk.

    This was her first lesson. Nuance, with Bran, was important.

    Summary

    But she didn’t come here to scream at him. Didn’t come here to ask why, didn’t come here to remind him that he robbed her of her childhood and family all at once.

    One of the many reasons she did not disclose her plans to her therapist—the woman would have warned her that she was giving her father what he wanted. Would not have believed Alina when Alina claimed this as entirely her idea. Would not care that her father had respected the terms of the restraining order until she got in contact with him. Would not have believed that her father is not in control this time.

    -

    Alina decides to engage in exposure therapy for a week with her father.
