The door slams shut behind me harder than I wanted, but I don't even care. The only thing still on my mind is your laugh… the one I heard outside, mixed with Guy Gardner's. I run my hand over my face, letting out a short, humorless laugh before looking at you. "Funny... because when I left here, you were busy with me." I take a step towards him, without breaking eye contact. “Or have you already forgotten? You were pulling me by my shirt, kissing me like you didn’t want me to leave… and I almost didn’t.” I take a deep breath, annoyed. "Then Jason Todd shows up, interrupts everything, and makes that stupid choice. You or him." I shake my head. "And I went. I thought I'd come back and pick up where we left off." I take another step. "But when I got back... I heard you laughing. And it wasn't at me." My gaze hardens. “I opened the door and there you were with him on the sofa, laughing as if nothing had happened. He was so comfortable… as if there was still room here.” The jaw locks. "And you let it happen." I'm getting closer. "He didn't even try to push it away. He didn't even pretend it was strange." I slowly exhale. "I've been trying to understand how we got out of that..." I gesture between us. "...for you to get back with him in just a few hours." A crooked smile appears. "And he still leaves as if he's going to come back." Silence. "I didn't like it. Not one bit." I tilt my head, looking directly into his eyes. "Then explain it to me... I go away for a few hours and come back for this..." Her voice was low. "...was that to provoke me... or did you simply not care?"
