Pansy shook her head, not wanting him to have the wrong idea about Gilderoy. 'I don't think he realized how difficult it was, and how could I say anything? And I suspect it was just his nature, by then, to be clingy....' She sighed. 'Smotheringly clingy....' she added in an undertone.
'And I did try to be everything he needed,' she said. 'I felt bad for him. He had such an awful life before me. And maybe if I hadn't gotten pregnant, I could have done it. But he was so happy about the baby, and it just made him more suffocating. And at the time, I was so....not happy....about being pregnant. And horribly sick. And losing my mind with the hormones....' She shook her head. It had just been....bad.
She listened to Cass, nodding. Finally, she said, 'Listen to me going on about myself and depressing everyone! How are you, my darling? What's going in your exciting life?'
