[ She's sitting up in bed wearing a unbuttoned black cardigan with only a black bra underneath, the blankets pulled up. She has sunglasses on to hide her eyes and how tired they look. ]

When I was a little girl, I told myself I'd never live in a big house. I didn't want a family, but I didn't want to be alone somewhere that echoed.

Uh ... not that I have a lot of experience being on your side of that equation, but I'm not sure forcing yourself to stop feeling angry does anyone any favors. You're just going to start resenting him, too.

[Of course it's him; Spidey's not that dense about relationships.]

voice; I THINK SO?

[acrossyourpath]

I already do.

voice; IT WASN'T EARLIER WHEN I WAS TRYING TO TAG IN

[incywincyhero]

Well, there you go, then. Maybe instead of fighting the anger you should just give yourself enough space to cool off.

[ENCRYPTED.]

So what'd Eddie do, if I'm allowed to ask?

voice;

[acrossyourpath]

There's plenty of space, believe me.

[ ENCRYPTED ]

Besides be a stubborn ass?

[incywincyhero]

Well, besides the usual, yeah.

[acrossyourpath]

There comes a point when I get tired of being distrusted.

voice, encrypted; stupid RL

[incywincyhero]

So he doesn't trust you -- or he's holding back, or something -- and you're upset at him for it, but at the same time you ... don't think his not trusting you is his fault?

Yeah, not sure I'm following.

[acrossyourpath]

If there's a reason he won't tell me that would be one thing. But I don't know what it is.

voice, encrypted;

[incywincyhero]

So he doesn't trust you and won't give you a reason he doesn't trust you?

That ... sounds like pretty fair reason to be ticked right there.

voice, encrypted;

[acrossyourpath]

Glad we're in agreement. That's exactly it.

voice, encrypted;

[incywincyhero]

To be honest, I'm wondering if I shouldn't recuse myself from this conversation.

voice, encrypted;

[acrossyourpath]

Up to you, sport.

voice, encrypted;

[incywincyhero]

It's, ah ... probably as much about his issues as it is about yours.

voice, encrypted;

[acrossyourpath]

Uh huh.

voice, encrypted;

[incywincyhero]

I'm just saying.

[enigmaestro]

I resent you too!
