Hannah really didn't want to feel bad for Lucas, but it was hard to cling to her anger when he confirmed the fact that it wasn't done out of intentional cruelty. Maybe he had some problems that he denied, or low-self esteem, or any number of issues that could cause him to act in such a way. Still, maybe he really was an asshole and Xavier was just trying to protect him. "That's... kind of sad." She frowned before taking a sup of coke. "It doesn't excuse his behavior, but I guess it helps explain it." She sighed. "I don't think everyone is that understanding, though."
That made her raise her eyebrows - it seemed a little superficial, although it did make sense. A lot of women married men for the security they could provide. "Maybe. It can be a security thing, knowing that you'll be taken care of if your husband has money." She shrugged. "Maybe she just sees something in him that no one else does." Or maybe she saw what she wanted to see.
