"You might be the only one that feels that way." But she appreciated it even as he looked away and obviously wasn't able to see that, by the time he had gone about the useless act of putting on a bloody shirt she had enough time to look at him funny for it. It didn't make her any sense and she would have made a joke if not for that statement.
He just ... Said it! And so easily! What sort of bizarre hell had she entered and why did no one give her a drink with her admittance?
"No, you don't have to 'settle' for anything." She paused, blinking at him like the confused existence she happened to be. "... You might have saved me a lot of trouble if you were that straightforward about this topic earlier." All that back and forth she had done in her own mind had been for nothing. He literally reduced it to either/or. And of course she would take the 'or', hell, this might be the only time in the duration of their marriage that they might even have sex for all that she knew. He didn't look like the type that would have a need for it the way she did.
