Who’s taking care of you?
She flinches under Echo’s touch even as she longs for it. However, there are far too many reasons against indulging in a moment or two with Echo. Financial and moral reasons that forces Claire to pull back instead of leaning into that gentle touch.
Later when Echo is somewhere else and none of the other Actives need her, Claire will allow herself to indulge in a fantasy where she does lean into Echo’s touch and where she lets Echo take care of her. But for now she dons the professional and cold mask as she pulls away from Echo as if the Active’s touch burns her in an unpleasant way.
