Torie nearly rolled her eyes at him. Yes, he had played the white knight in the past and she had been all too willing to let him. Now it felt different, stiff, cheapened, more out of obligation than want and it made her want to scream. It made her feel like a complete fool. "Of course." Merlin she just wanted to go home. This was getting ridiculous. She shouldn't still be pining away for him. He had made himself very clear and still did and she hadn't any idea why she couldn't just move on.
"Be careful," She found herself sighing as he moved toward the door. Despite her uncertainty, she didn't want him to injure himself any further. Hopefully neither horse gave him a hard time either. The sooner they could get some help, the sooner they could be rid of one another and she could go back to trying to pick up the pieces that seemed to keep scattering at the most inconvenient moments.
