Sonia falters. Take it back, she thinks fervently, take it all back and will be fine. I'll forgive you. Just take it all back...
She doesn't even know if she would forgive him. She just...wants it all undone. She swallows and drops her gaze.
"I don't know," she says quietly, rubbing her arm. "But you...you can't come in here half a friend. You can't come in here, looking to talk, looking to be -- friendly, and dismiss my feelings. You can't refuse to acknowledge that it hurt because I cared about you. You can't tell me that my feelings aren't real. I'm sure it must be easier for you to pretend that way. But if you want to talk like we're friends -- if that's what you really want -- then you owe me at least that much respect."
She looks back up at him again, miserable, desperately lonely even if she won't admit it. She doesn't know why she's even bothering. She should be telling him to get out, to leave, because if he's going to be this way then he can go shove it. But it hurts either way.
"You can start there. But you can't expect me to sit and have pleasant conversation with someone who broke my heart and kept the pieces."
