I don’t know why I’m so pissed. I’ve been attached to Sam at the hip for years, by now I know a little something about how the Hunt male mind works. Goddess knows I spent enough hours trying to gently justify some stupid thing or other he had said to Lily. Especially in the early days of their relationship, he was often putting his huge foot in his even bigger mouth. I know how it sounded, Lil, but you know Sam, he didn’t mean it like that, I would say.
I should be able to do that now, with Sebastian. How desperately I wish Lily were here to do it for me. There’s a part of me that knows how easy it would be to rationalize my injured pride away. Sebastian was just doing what he thought we all expected from him. He was making an effort to stop fighting us so hard and help us instead.
