Elann had opened herself emotionally to Aimee, really trying to explain and open her heart to her and she wasn't disappointed. Unlike Noah, she had a civil way of expressing herself, even if inside she may have felt like he did. It made Elann feel comforted, not yelled at because she was crying. 

Feeling comforted, and with tear carefully wiped away, Elann listened to her sister. It was excusable she guessed, but never having a sibling, she wondered at their relationship.

It was sad to Elann to hear that what she had done to Noah had left him to be something else; that stabbed her in the heart.

"It's okay. It kind of felt good to get it off my chest, really." She then sniffed and regained some composure, then leaned against the canvas of the wagon.

"Aimee, I don't know what to do at this point. I've tried to draw closer to him and that didn't work, and now I'm trying to stay away a little without making him feel like I'm pressuring him for anything...and it's going better. I just couldn't stand it if I pushed him to the point of tearing our bond. I feel I couldn't live without him. He has become my only friend, my only family, and the only man I've ever loved. It hurts more inside than I ever knew I could that I have been destroying this bond between us. I just want his forgiveness. I want to start over, but I feel I've pushed him too far and I can't talk about it anymore with him without him getting mad. I can't make it right. Now we are in this lull where neither of us want to offend each other, but I want more than that because I love him."

A hand came down to help lift her other leg up onto the bench so she was curled up on it. It felt so good to finally talk to her sister again, and once more, she didn't feel as rejected as she did.
