"We always say things that we regret when we are in the heat of the moment," she said soothingly. Words that her father often said to her after her mother had had another round at her and her brothers. "But...I see the way you two look at each other. Somehow...things will work out..."
"
I don't think I have ever met someone who says more stupid things than I. I have been putting my foot in my mouth since the moment I learnt to speak," she said miserably as she dragged the sleeve of her robes across her face.
Lexi thought for a moment about the last thing Kurumi said... what if it DIDN'T work out though? "
I might not be so sure about that. Who knows what the future holds for me? Or for Salander or for anyone else for that matter. And my life, as I have seen, has a terrible way of going in the complete opposite direction that I want it to." Truth that was.
"
Merlin... it feels like someone opened up my chest and just ripped my still beating heart right out. Then stomped on it. This is the absolute worst feeling in the world..."
