Daff hated that tense sort of set to his expression and she wondered just what it was he was thinking. The rest of the summer and leading into now she had tried so hard to keep her pregnancy emotions more even than she had on his birthday. It was a little exhausting, but she had tried to ensure that he only saw the good things so that she didn't worry him and hopefully put any residual upset over her initial reaction to rest so there was no doubt lingering. She wasn't sure how well it was going, but at least lately, things seemed to be more normal.

She sat across from him with the tea, but besides setting it down, didn't touch it. There hadn't been much time to draft how she wanted to say all of this and so she was going to have to just choose her words carefully. "Something came up and I'm not sure I handled it the right way, but I received a letter from Noble." Daff wanted to keep any conflicting emotions from her face. The last thing she wanted to show her husband was any sort of remorse or regret or heartbreak over someone from her past. Daff did not regret where she was now, not at all. She didn't like that she had hurt people on the journey to get here, but that was something she was going to have to live with. Noble had played his own part in getting here too.

"It was out of nowhere, but it made me angry." Daff wasn't so sure she had ever been that angry before. "Maybe irrationally so, and when I went for my walk I wound up in his workshop throwing things at yelling at him." She only sort of felt bad about that. The jars could be replaced, but she had said some things in the heat of the moment that she probably wouldn't have said with some time to think. "I should have just ignored it, but I didn't and I'm sorry." What Noble had done wasn't fair and it was frustrating and she would have hoped he had moved on by now. To drag her back into something she thought was settled made her feel discontented in a way that it shouldn't. It still prickled at her now, but she hoped she had explained herself well enough. "I didn't want to hide it from you." Everything, the good and the bad.
