As Edmund started shouting at her, the weight of it really hit Sutton... like a ton of flipping bricks. And she started sobbing... like it was the end of the world because that was how it felt, like everything she had been counting on was gone and she had no one left. "I don't know, Ed! I... wasn't thinking! I fell, and I was there, and he was there and... I didn't PLAN on it!" she spluttered very loudly because that was the only way she could talk over her tears.
Looking up at him suddenly, something he said processed in her brain. Isaac... had kissed her BACK. That... that meant something. Maybe if Edmund hadn't dragged her away...
But Isaac hadn't come after her, and so that meant Isaac regretted it. If he didn't regret it, he wouldn't have let Edmund take her away.
And that made her cry even more.
She was so thankful for Edmund's hug as she fell apart in his arms, sobbing against his chest.
Merry flipping Christmas to me...
