"Never used to feel that way," Kathy muttered, but that was a stupid thing to say and she knew it.
But it also felt good to say. Eliot was the only person she felt like she could throw a tantrum around. Everyone else, it felt unfair to subject them to her feeling petulant and childish and obnoxious, but Eliot...Eliot might roll his eyes and tell her to grow up or something, but she wouldn't worry that inwardly, he was telling himself We got her back for THIS?
She didn't have to be mature and grateful to Eliot. That was freeing.
"I hate feeling grateful," she said abruptly. "I hate feeling like I'm expected to be grateful."
That was an abrupt change of topic, Kathy. Warn a guy next time, jeez.
