"So….how pissed are you really?" His continued interactions with her allowed him to better glean her thoughts.
The smile on Maya's face quickly flipped.
"I wouldn't say pissed more…frustrated, annoyed, neglected even." She spoke from the heart.
Frost pulled her into his chest and rubbed the back of her head in a soothing manner. "I'm sorry you feel that way, I never meant to hurt you."
"I know and from what my instincts tell me Daki is a nice woman. It's just… hard." She leaned in, resting her head against his chest so as to hear his heartbeat, an intimate gesture that warmed Frost's heart. However a moment later he experienced a sharp twisting pain in his side.
