Sabine smiled. "Yup. It's hectic. But, as you know, I used to have six. Sophia is really funny. You'll probably meet her tomorrow because she sleeps like a log and hates getting woken up in the middle of the night. Or, in this case, ten o'clock."
"What's on your mind?" He spoke, his voice purring behind his ribcage.
Fear spiked in her and she pulled away, tears springing to her eyes. “I— I’m going to be different all day, I’m warning you from now.” She swallowed. Why did she have to start feeling now? Numbness was better, more peaceful. She rubbed her throbbing arm subconsciously.
"It's figure of speech Mach."
His lips tugged a frown, "Take a breath.."
Fae took deep breaths, accidentally bumping her arm against the table. She winced, hoping he hadn’t noticed.
"It's figure of speech Mach."
“Oh. Oops.”, she giggled.

Aaaaaaand you’re all gone)
Cruz tried to maintain eye contact, especially quiet.
Stupid, stupid Fae. Idiotic, imbecilic, selfish Fae. Cruz could see the thought written all over her face.
"Raison d'être," he whispered, just two simple words that could manage to remind her how much he needed her, how much he cared. And that drawing into herself scared him, when she would tuck her heart away inside herself for noone to touch, even him.
Fae’s eyes snapped upwards at this, filling with tears. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”, she whispered fearfully, her words overflowing with love and concern. You made him upset Fae, stupid Fae. You know how much you mean to him, you have to keep him happy!
"Stop. Stop apologizing." His voice was suddenly firm.
(Topaz go look at the other rp. I dare you to.)
(Idea that you don’t have to go along with: could Cruz grab her arm or something but it’s her injured one and she winces and he pulls the sleeve up and sees th gash?)
"Stop. Stop apologizing." His voice was suddenly firm.
Fae fell to her knees, bursting into silent tears. She was so done with today already, she just wanted to sleep, to forget about the stupid rapist and the stupid prison.
(I did nothing!! innocent smile well, except maybe ruin your life. Just go look. But I also gave a sliver of hope too.)
He brushed a step back, looking down at her.
(About What’s wring)
Fae his her face in her hands, silently crying her heart out. Stupid, selfish Fae.
