A/N: Late, I know. But I'm finding it somewhat difficult lately to write. My muse is lagging. :(
Thank you to annavale23, changingdestiny40, Maddison1803 and guest for your reviews!
Maddison1803 - There won't be too much more arguing coming up, so don't worry. :)
Guest - I'm glad you love it :)
Grant had a feeling that he was overreacting to Skye's confession, but he was finding it difficult to care very much about that fact. He didn't want to alienate her, especially so soon after getting her back, but the lack of trust she had in him grated on his nerves.
It's not like I would've sent her away, or back to S.H.I.E.L.D. when I found out…oh, that's probably exactly what she thinks. He internally groaned and cast a glance at Skye, who was determinately not looking in his direction. The disapproving look Kara was sending his way was not helping his morale. God, I need to fix this.
"Skye." he softly began, watching her closely. She flinched a little when he spoke. Ouch. "Skye, can we please talk this through without screaming at each other? I don't want to say anything I'll regret." His fingers clenched on the steering wheel as he anticipated an angry outburst.
Surprisingly, her voice was quiet. "I think we've said enough to each other for now."
Grant heard Kara suck in a breath. Oh, I am in so much trouble. He tried again.
"I don't want this to simmer, Skye."
"Then why did you get all pissed off in the first place?"
She still wasn't looking at him. Grant wondered how much grovelling he would have to do. He tightened his hands on the steering wheel. "Because…I didn't like the fact that you didn't trust me as much as I thought you did."
Skye was silent for a heartbeat. "I was desperate for help after being literally burned by people I thought I could trust. Beyond what was necessary, how much did you expect there to be?" Grant opened his mouth to respond, but she continued, cutting him off. "Don't answer that, it was rhetorical." Once again, she lapsed into silence.
Grant didn't know what to say, so he focused on the road ahead and kept driving.
