[She doesn't want to meet his eyes. Not only because she's afraid of what she'll see, but because she really, really doesn't want him to know how much this hurt her. She'd felt drawn to him when they were enemies, felt connected to him despite his betrayal, and had almost let herself believe, really believe, that he saw past her mutation, past her defenses, and despite knowing how much of a mess she was - she'd let herself believe that... that he wanted her. Just her. Not because of what she was, not because of what she could add, or because somewhere deep down she was a "good person" who he had to save - just her.
And then she'd seen him in love with someone else. Promised to someone else. Someone beautiful and competent. Someone she could never compete with, because she was someone he could touch.
And so what else could it be but a game?

You've got so many lies twisted up inside of you, Remy LeBeau, how would you even know? No wonder you're convincing.
But it was when he confessed that he should have told her that she scoffed, raising a hand in exasperation.]
Told me what? Ya think just lettin' me know you're engaged would make datin' you okay? Gawd.
[She might be a monster, but she's not that kind of monster.
She might be untouchable, but even she wanted something real.]
