She sniffled back tears, forcing herself not to cry. "I know--I know you did it for me. Because...because of what Eastman did."

Well, this was the last thing he wanted. Her feeling guilty. "You went into the Refuge for me," he reminded her. "That was because of me, Maggie. I had to go after him. And that doesn't make it your fault. Sammie and...and Riddle were going after him anyway, so they would've been there no matter what. And I'm fine," he reminded her, praying it was all enough to keep her tears back.

She shook her head. "But you almost weren't fine, Sebastian. You almost--" She cleared her throat, taking a breath. "You didn't have to do that for me. I--it was wasn't worth risking your life for."

"So you didn't risk your life for me? And everything else?" He gave her a look. He'd started all this, he deserved anything that happened to him, and she'd been a total innocent who was terrorized and kidnapped and raped because of his stupid plan. The idea that she would waste a moment worrying about him was mind-boggling.

She sighed, pausing a moment before answering. "I loved you, Sebastian. I would have done anything for you. But I--" she swallowed the lump in her throat. "I ended us. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I did. And you didn't owe me anything after the way I treated you."

"Clearly, you don't measure debts the same way I do," he said with a sigh. "Anyway, it wasn't about owing you. It was about needing him to die for what he did to you. And now it's over," he added, sounding kind of dazed. That fact was taking as long to sink in as Riddle's death.

She bit her lip. Four months ago, imaging this all being over would have meant she and Sebastian could finally be happy together. Now it just meant...nothing. It meant nothing.
She opened her mouth to speak, then closed it again. She had a million things she wanted to say to him. And couldn't say any of it.

"You don't have to stay in here," he told her, seeing her expression and knowing just how she felt. "You've probably got papes to sell, and I'll be fine. Wraith'll be back to check on me every five minutes anyway."

She moved to get up, then shook her hand, grabbing his hand and holding it between hers because she needed to. She needed to touch him, regardless of whether or not he winced. "Goddammit, Sebastian. When are you gonna stop being such a fucking martyr all the time?" She swore. Twice. Which meant she was legitimately upset.

He didn't just wince, he jumped like a cannon had gone off, and then stared at her because he honestly had no idea what just happened. "Is there...something you want me to do, Maggie?" he asked carefully, like he was trying to fend off a crazed lunatic with a knife. Yes, he was an idiot, and yes, she had every reason to hate him--but he was also suffering from very fresh grief and an equally fresh gunshot wound, and she was yelling at him.

She dropped his hand and burst into tears. "I--you can't even touch me. You--it's like the beginning. But worse. Everything's worse."

He went on staring at her, trying to figure out what exactly she was saying. "Like the beginning? But that was...we're not...Mag, did something happen with Skittery?" Goblin had almost forgotten the guy existed.

She choked on a sob. "Oh, Sebastian...I--Everything's messed up. All of it. I messed everything up! This wouldn't have happened if--if we--if you and me--" She broke down again.
