Rose felt a small smile slip into place as Jack described their time with him, putting it into words that didn't nearly compare to the real thing but were still so wonderfully accurate... And then it vanished as the rest of what he said took hold of her thoughts.
That sort of arrogance... Jack was saying she'd become like him in all the worst ways. And by his choice of words, it wasn't nearly so endearing on her. She felt her pride bristle at the implication, making her want to reach out and... But, was he right?
Her jaw tightened and she looked away from him, turning so he could only see her profile and taking deep breaths. "I don't-" She closed her eyes and stood quickly, turning her back on him completely and crossing her arms. "Maybe you're right. Maybe that's just what happens when your life revolves around him."
