Standing in the center of the room, Daphne waited until she was sure Daniel was in the room with her before she looked over her shoulder and said quietly, "Close the door, please." When she heard the door click, she turned to face him, her anger baited for a while so that she could rationally explain herself first. Taking a deep breath, she started, "Daniel, I know that what happened at my family's house has upset you and that Johnny's words hit you hard. But it was news to me, as well. I am my own person though, and I don't want anything to do with Eward. I have left my family for a second time, and this time I know it was for the right reasons. But all I have felt lately is that I am used good all because my brother linked mine and Eward's name."
Taking a deep breath, she realized she had been talking to fast and looked down at her feet, her face flushed. Her feet itched to just stomp and throw a fit, her stomach was in knots and felt sick, her eyes felt like spilling over. But she held it all in and looked back up to Daniel, opening her mouth to speak but her voice cracked. Taking another deep breath, she closed her eyes so she could continue without seeing that look he was giving her. "I'm sorry that I made it seem like all I wanted from you is to make love, but all I really want is to just be near you. To be held by you for longer than five minutes without an interuption and to be kissed like there's something behind it all again. You've been near but have been gone for weeks now, if that makes sense. It's not lust I feel for you, Daniel. I am in love with you and there is a difference."
