Lips tightening, Lexi looked away. It sounded harsh when Elaine said it, though yes, that had been what she meant. Lexi didn't stop often to consider her lifestyle from another's perspective; when it was forced on her to do so, it was never pleasant. "Then don't," she said mildly, tightening her arms around herself. "I can't live your life for you, Elaine. I can only live mine. This is who I am and I'll make no apologies. If that isn't what you want, then please, don't stay on some hope I'll change."
