Vance's POV
Nadia must have been in shock. She definitely didn't expect that reaction for saying stuff about me getting into someone else's 'bed'. Maybe if I understood the type of bed she meant and did not immediately overthink it, I wouldn't have reacted the way I did.
My mind just shot past everything she could have meant to Talia's death bed. I didn't even want a remote possibility of her knowing what I was up to when she was gone.
"Do you need ice?" I asked her. I didn't even care if she was going to respond or not, I just felt the need to undo what I did, at least try to.
"No. I'd rather develop a mark and make sure I wear clothes that would reveal it so everyone knows what I'm going through with you." She answered bitterly.
"And what good do you expect that to do?"
