*after a moment of heart breaking silence she pulls away and looks as if she might just cry* SHUT UP. JUST SHUT UP. YOU CAN'T JUST COME IN HERE AND SAY THINGS LIKE THAT. THINGS THAT MEAN SOMETHING. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ME?! WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MY PROBLEMS?! NOTHING
*after a moment of waiting, waiting for that hand or fist to slam down, she carefully opens her eyes and looks around*
*she looks stunned to find Katherine there, crying*
*having no idea what to do in such a situation--no one's ever come to her when she was crying... what was she supposed to do..?--she just stands there, looking on helplessly*
