[aaron's] In which Felicity needs to let off some steam.

She knew better than to let him get to her.

She knew better. She had left him because she was tired of him getting to her. He reminded her too much of her father and she should have known that for the moment he met him, but it just didn’t register. It never registered. She just got herself in over her head and she didn’t realize it until it was too late. She did that with every relationship she had. She got in over her head and then it ended in her getting hurt, but she couldn’t seem to learn how to do better.

“She didn’t have the stomach to marry me.”

Sometimes the asshole managed to sound like her father too.

But instead of telling him off, or getting pissed off at him directly, she just let it stew for the rest of the day at work, and when the day was over, she hopped on a train to Jersey and made her way to Aaron’s front door. He wasn’t expecting her and she silently hoped that she wasn’t walking in on something she didn’t want to see, but she needed to see him. She needed to feel wanted for a little while. Which was why she knocked on the door and waited quietly for him to open it.
