"Sweetie, please, be rational – "
"I don't want to talk about it anymore." Her eyes turned cold and glassy, and she turned away from me.
I hated when Bella put up these emotional barriers. She told me she started it while she was dating her asshole ex so he wouldn't see how his cruelty had affected her. Now it was her defense mechanism whenever she felt too vulnerable or out of control. There was nothing I could do to reach her now that she was in her box.
I sighed and sat down, waiting for her to open up again.
For Dixie, who is celebrating her birthday tomorrow.
