"That's because I don't trust you!" "That doesn't give you the right to be a total jerkwad!" she yelled as she got up from the bed. She wobbled, and I reached out to steady her on instinct. She swatted my hands away though, making me frown at her. "I get that you don't trust me," she continued in an angry tone. "If you'd shown up at the community for some reason, I wouldn't trust you either! But that doesn't mean I would have been rude to you.
