That was a secret she should've kept. There she was, always ruining things between them somehow or another. It was just another strike against her that Ben could resent. Melody sighed heavily and swiped at her tears again, this time withdrawing from his embrace to do so. It'd been wrong of her to take comfort in his embrace, just as it was wrong of her to share with Lucy.

"It's never come up with anyone else, I swear." She said, trying to swallow back her grief in order to prevent Ben from withdrawing from her as he did upon their return from Paris (and before they left, if she was being truthful). "It was more of my own fears than the truth of what happened...it distracted her for a few minutes at least...long enough for the healers to come. I shouldn't have said any of it, though, I know that."
