She has no idea. She can just smile, flip her hair impatiently, or just say my name and I practically melt. Why would she do this to me? Constantly changing her mind, on second pushing me away, the next whaling on me for talking to Brigid. She thinks Brigid could replace her.
I've been through everything with Max. We've been tortured, we've eaten desert rat, slept in caves, and raised baby Angel. But it's like she doesn't know what she wants. I make a step closer to her, and she pushes me away. Maybe that's her way of being tough, of staying Max and not becoming all mushy. And maybe that's what makes her even more intoxicatingly irresistible to me.
