Jacob didn't want to deal with this period but especially not when he had just been shot. Addison was confused and messing with his emotions. He had tolerated a lot while she was staying with him but this was too much.
Her jaw dropped. "No! That isn't it!"
"Isn't it? You were traumatized and I conveniently happened to be there. Lots of people get attached to their protectors in situations like that. There's a training on it and everything so we can remain appropriate when victims get attached. That kind of went out the window with you since I actually knew you.
"In case you forgot, you're the one who didn't want me. You can't just change your mind because you're having a hard time when it's only temporary. That isn't fair. Don't confuse desperation with love, Addison."
There. It was all out. All of his bitterness about letting himself be used since he met up with her again.
