"I don't care!" her voice hitches unpleasantly and she can't breathe. It isn't fair. "I can go as far as I can and - and what right do you have to tell me what to do in the first place?"

She's close again - too close - one finger pressed accusingly against his shoulder and her own heartbeat traitorously loud between her ears.

"It isn't - it -" she swallows, ignoring the way her vision swims and spinning angrily, stalking back the way she came in and flinging the door open. "It isn't as though you can't find me."

It slams shut behind her, painfully loud, and she barely makes it a step before slumping down against it - hand braced against her chest and shoulders up about her ears miserably. The dog waiting behind the door whines quietly and noses its way timidly to her side.

"Stupid thing," she mutters, swiping angrily at her eyes - and she isn't certain whether she means the cold nose against her chin or the heart beneath her fingers.
