He was constantly surprising her. First, he lit a fire within her that blased through all her best intentions and now his demeanor had changed entirely. Wonders would never cease as long as she associated with Jefferson. It seemed as though his tiredness fell over him like a veil, and the fight was gone out of him. He had been trying to make her go, to leave him, and it semeed he hadn't wanted to fight with her at all. Still, she pressed on, stubborn as he could be within different situations.
She backed up a step or two as he hung his head, stunned that she had "won" this battle. She didn't feel as though she had won anything. Instead, she felt unsettled and confused as ever. He seemed to have that effect on her. She looked closely at him, his body language, and weariness was written in every line of his body. Geneva sighed, swallowing her anger with some difficulty.
"Fine," she said, her voice close to expressionlss. She didnt know what to make of him now, didn't know what to do. She felt a little awkward, which was something she had never felt around him before. Scared, startled, curious, and now infuriated, but never had she felt so self conscious around the one-eyed male. She just shook her head. "I'll see you soon," she said, both a promise and a plea. She didn't want to leave him like this, but there was nothing else to say. Perhaps they could start over, or forget this had happened. Maybe she didn't want to fcrget at all. This had been important. She couldn't make sense of it all.
