Just a tiny intake of breath. The smallest little crumble in her armor. "I'm going to kill him," she muttered.
"I'm not hiding anything. And I don't... Merlin, who do you think I tell? For fuck's sake, Sirius." Now she was just angry. "You sleep with me. Why don't you tell me about my nightmares, yeah?"
She walked a few steps away and then turned and came back, chin jutted out in defiant ire. "I am not doing this," she hissed. "I am not...standing in the middle of some corridor blurting my deep dark secrets to you. That is not how this works. What I don't tell you, I have reasons for. All right? Maybe I don't want to talk about them. Maybe I don't..."
Maybe I don't trust you to stay if you knew them.
But she cut herself off. Clenching her jaw, she stared at him for a moment, the turned away again. "I'm going home. You can do what you want."
