"I know that," she replied, her voice earnest but not argumentative. "But I'm not gonna ask you to put everything on hold because me and Ruby are at each other's throats. Again. And the rest of it...that's not important compared to what else is going on, it's not. But it just happened to build up and I went off. Not in the best way, no, but it doesn't mean you have to worry about me, Sam. I vented, made an ass out of myself, and that's the end of it. I'm gonna explain it in the morning, but that's only because I think certain people need to know why I went ballistic, so they don't worry."
It wasn't the first time Ruby had said those kind of things to her, but it was the first time that it sunk in and stuck. As angry as she was with the demon, she was right about a lot of things. She didn't think before she said or did things a lot of the time. So far in life, she really never had to. But now there were people who could potentially get hurt or angered by her behavior, and she needed to start filtering herself more carefully. That wasn't wrong. Sam could do better? Of course he could. Heather still had a hard time believing the fact that he'd actually fallen for someone like her, and she knew that there were better people out there for him. She didn't have it in her to believe he was only sticking around because she was pregnant, but now the thought was in her brain, all thanks to Ruby. Maybe that was why he was so adamantly against it. Maybe it wasn't so much fear and worry as a feeling of being trapped. She'd noticed the way he still flinched at the mention of the baby, even after that whole speech he'd given her a short while ago. She wasn't stupid, and she wasn't blind. On top of that, there was the fact that she'd backed him up and supported his using the pits. No, she didn't really think there was much anyone could have done to stop him once he set his mind to it, but now he seemed to be regretting the decision now that Alastair was around. She'd probably helped him step right into a more dangerous life when she could have argued the point a little more and kept him safe. Kept others safe, too.
Instead of voicing this, she arched a brow at him. "So I'm the only one to make posts talking to everyone else about a problem except you?" She'd discovered as much from a few other people, anyway.
