She hated that he would tell them that, tell Tania that. It was obvious the woman liked him and it was a slap to her face to say that she could have been in Karra's spot. And it was a blow to Karra to say that he was willing to leave the thought of them behind if she had kept being like a "teenager," which she didn't feel she had been. She could admit that she had been a bit emotional--okay, a lot emotional, but she would try to work on it. She had already explained to Tom the whys of it, but she knew that it wasn't an excuse. It was up to her to improve, no one else.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #FFBF00">"Oh..." </span></span>Karra inwardly flinched at the sound of Tania's voice. It was so full of feeling and Karra knew that hearing the words Tom had said hurt her. She wished she could be selfless enough to give Tania and Tom a chance, but love was a selfish thing sometimes and she did not want to give Tom to anyone. Not that he was an object to give, but that was beside the point. Karra loved Tom, more than she ever loved anyone else. She liked Tania enough, but would this confession cause her to pursue Tom? She didn't think so, but there was always that small chance--or maybe she was just paranoid. She had a hard time trusting people. She resolved, however, to trust Tania.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF0000">"I am sorry..."</span>she muttered without thinking, still unable to look at either of them. Her chin quivered, though none could see it as she looked at her lap. She didn't feel any anger, only a sadness that settled deep in her stomach.
