Ever observant, Daphne caught that look of disappointment but didn't say anything. She couldn't blame him, he obviously didn't want this marriage to go on. Avoiding his gaze as he glowered at her, she glanced down at her shoes. Face knotted into a moment of disgust as she realized that she was standing on owl droppings and skeletons from dead mice and moles.
Shaking her head, "You're right, you know... about what you wrote in the journals." She stared slowly, "It's not fair that our parents are sealing both of us into this deal. I haven't been making things easy for you, part of my reasoning behind that is hoping that maybe if I push you away enough... you might just, I don't know, snap, and ruin everything. I have to admit, I was momentarily relived to catch you with whatsherface in the library. Part of me truly believed that perhaps that was the slip up that would end this entire ordeal." Daphne was actually having an honest conversation with him, wasn't she? She wasn't trying to hide anything, she wasn't being blunt, or short with him. She was just telling him how she felt, and what she wanted. It was a step in some sort of direction.
"I learned that's not the case," Holding out the letter for him to read if he wished, Daphne continued on, "They don't blame you, how could they? You were their choice, they're not about to admit a mistake - whatever mistake it was. They blame me, they say I didn't try hard enough, and that I'm some sort of disappointment for not, I don't bloody know, 'winning' you over or some sort of rubbish like that." Running her fingers through her hair, that nervous action was returning as she finally lifted her gaze up to him.
"I can't blame you for what happened, whatsherface is rather pretty - or whatever. I didn't help the situation either, I guess." Biting down on her bottom lip, she shook her head and realized she was rambling, "What I'm trying to say is that, you're right... we're young. While both of us seem to be forced into this situation, it doesn't actually come into affect until you graduate. I guess, for now at least, there's no harm in... I don't know... enjoying ourselves until that time." She quoted directly from his reply to her.
