( that was one of the disadvantages of being young and emotional, and while spiritually she was far older, heather clearly was looking bad here. she had come up to this woman, someone very few people knew had crossed her and ruined her life, immediately assaulting her and letting her rage take over.

yet if anyone else were in heather's shoes, they'd understand just how much claudia had done to drive her to this point. the build up, the destruction, the manipulations―

heather was more than justified in her rage. )

You....you...

( unfortunately for them both, claudia's attitude and words just made her more enraged. no true apologies, no reasonings as to why the things she did were wrong it was all just meaningless words attempted to placate heather. )

Stay out of my way here you got it? Don't try and use me again for your bullshit, and don't meddle in my life. Behave, and I won't beat you down when we return to Etraya.

I'll make sure...my father's death wasn't in vain somehow and you won't stop me.
