It was near impossible to gauge what she ought to say next without anything further from him. In a way, she almost missed his drunken frustration for at least then she at least had the benefit of knowing what he was thinking. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner." Melody sincerely said. If she had known this would be the result of her continued silence she might have been more willing to make an attempt at bridging the gap between them.
"I think I was stuck in how lost and alone I felt when I was first injured. The more questions I had the more isolating those feelings became ... I should have tried to talk to you about it sooner." Regardless of how terribly his decisions had effected her, Melody should have realized sooner that she had to put in the effort she wanted in return. Perhaps if she had tried in earnest to explain why she needed to know, maybe then he wouldn't be standing there like a kicked puppy.
