it's conflicting, really—this feeling she's had for a while, now: her whole life, she's managed to convince herself that they didn't need each other... convinced herself that seeing him will only bring about the painful, wicked twists of their past.
but when he shows up, unexpected, a seed of doubt stems into the idea that maybe — just maybe, she missed him a little, too.
but of course, she can never touch him. she can never let him reminisce those memories. she can never have him remember what she's done to him.
