"I don't know." She admitted tearfully, when her father asked if it would help. "This doesn't seem better." She shrugged, but maybe it would get better after a few days? Maybe all they needed was time. "This just hurts, but maybe that's better than actually forming the bond." She was speaking quietly into the tops of her knees, more thinking aloud than actually to her father, though she was sure he could hear her words.
"You feel yourself falling in love, don't you?" She asked him after a long moment, looking up at him, she didn't know for sure, never really feeling like she'd been in love. But it seemed like something you should feel happening. "And this, this is so much more than just love, should I have been able to feel it?" She as asking him questions that he wouldn't know the answer to and she knew it, but she couldn't help it.
