The bite in that one word had the intended effect, her gaze snapping to his. Her irritated frown smoothed into more of a worried line as he continued speaking. He let a silence lapse but that emphatic nobody rang loudly in her ears. An imaginary echo in the space of the warehouse. Julianna swallowed a thick lump that had formed in her throat, rapid blinks attempted to push back tears that were threatening to form. Not because she was frightened of him or her position, but because he was right. No one would look for her. The more she thought about it, the more it came to her attention that there was not a single person that would give a damn about where she was.
“Fine,” she said sharply, forcing the word past that choking feeling that came before a sob. “Sounds like you can handle it yourself then.” Her knees returned to her chest, and this time she hid the entirety of her face behind them. Forehead pressed against her stockings, dark hair formed a curtain around her.
Julianna listened to him eat and rant, and held her breath to keep from crying. Maybe she was tired, or maybe he was getting to her without even really trying, but she could feel the storm of a tantrum building in her chest. A nagging tightness that forced silent tears to well up and cling to her lashes; sticking to her mascara in star-like points. Her muffled voice sounded out from behind her knees. “I really some how doubt that…” she paused. She had gone to use his name in much the same manner before she realized she didn’t know it. She considered asking, but that would require talking to him more than she really wanted to. She decided against it. Falling into another silence.
Her stomach made angry flips in demand for sustenance. She could still hear him eating as he finished off the egg roll and the smell of pho was tempting. She made no move for anything still lined neatly in front of her. For now she was determined to starve first.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
