Emmeline had not been this angry with someone in a very long time. She actually could not recall a fight that had lasted so long and with so few words. She should let him know that, that no one in this world had infuriated her as much as he had. She hadn't flinched at his childish slamming of the door, and she had not offered any inclination that she noticed his arrival in the room, but oh, she did. Emmeline was currently penning a lengthy letter to Anneliese about her latest news, telling her friend with a flourish about how perfectly wonderful John was, and finding it quite easy to; any thoughts she currently had about Caradoc, she simply wrote the exact opposite and it helped her compose the most charming of images.
She was not in the wrong. She felt no guilt. Caradoc could slam as many doors as he wanted like the child he was and Emmeline would remain completely unfazed. He was the one that had disappeared for two days with no announcement, no letter, and absolutely no reasoning when he'd returned. He was the one that had allowed her thoughts and mind to spiral into the most miserable of thoughts, he'd let her find herself unable to breath at the slightest of thoughts that he'd been caught, captured, or worse---
There was only a slight inclination of her head as Emmeline forced the terrifying thoughts away. The moment she'd seen he was all right, though he'd not bothered with an explanation, Emmeline could breathe and properly place her anger upon him. If he could do this to her, then she was not going to expend any energy into attempting to find out why. He shouldn't have. Not after everything, he shouldn't have a reason large enough to have put her through two days of torture, but he had, and now he was banging doors as if these past few weeks of the silent treatment had been equally as dreadful.
Her gaze lifted, a blank expression on her face as they stared each other down. Emmeline blinked, "I had thought two days might be enough. They weren't."
