"Sorry."
She had clearly heard him muttering to herself and froze in place, staring at him as he faced away from her. She did not know what he was feeling, how to describe the look in his posture and the way he was breathing. It was rare that Odessa apologized for anything, especially for something she had done. But he was right again and she tried to create an explanation that he would understand.
"I wasn't trying to...ditch you," It wasn't entirely true. She had packed up and prepared to leave, heading to their next destination before he would. "How do I explain it?" She sat back on the arm of a chair, ignoring his urgency. "The night before was something new to me."
She shrugged, eyes glued to the floor. "The first time. I'm still trying to figure out how to process it, I suppose. It was strange." She looked up, icy eyes hovering over him. "Not in a bad way, but a new way. I did not know my body could react to such a thing."
She huffed a quiet laugh and stood, giving him a moment before she grabbed her own bag again. He wanted to leave and she wouldn't stop him. "Anyway, the snow. Let us get going."
