For a brief hopeful moment, Audrey thought they had laid the conversation to rest, and that Orin wasn’t going to press anymore. But once again, she was wrong. She wasn’t sure how long she could keep this up before completely falling apart either in fear or frustration. She didn’t know what more she could say, she’d already said all the things she knew she should say. All the placating and comforting things, all the praise and doting. 
Audrey flinched away from Orin’s hand, so used to expecting harshness out of his touch…but to her slight surprise it was relatively gentle as he turned her face towards his. Firm, but not entirely unkind. If someone happened to peak in through the window, they might think the couple were sharing a sweet quiet moment together. For a moment, Audrey didn’t want to turn her eyes to his and they flickered downwards. But she knew he’d pick up on it and there was no other choice than to stare back into those cold eyes.
But maybe there was a hint of warmth in those eyes, maybe there was something sincere and maybe even a bit desperate in his words. It made Audrey think that, even behind his harsh words and cruel tactics, there was somebody there who needed her. Someone who really did care about her, and felt that she was worth more than just a plaything or an item on display. And that’s what made her feel so torn, so stuck – and then guilty for feeling “stuck”. Audrey’s voice was still quiet and careful as she spoke. “Oh no, of course not, Orin, no, I’d neva’ wanna do anythin’ like that to ya…” Her words felt jumbled, just like how she felt inside. The way she always felt whenever Orin questioned her and twisted her thoughts around. “You don’t…you don’t think I would, do ya?”
Audrey shifted uncomfortably as Orin mulled over his words. For a moment, she wondered if he didn't really have anyone in mind and hoped she was safe. She moved in to lay her head down on his shoulder, to curl up close to him in an effort to prove her fidelity. But then she froze with dread when Orin suddenly continued to speak. Her eyes widened as she felt a tremor run through the already delicate conversation. “You..you mean Seymour?” She asked, doing her best to seem casual but she couldn’t quite keep the fear out of her voice. “He's just my friend! I just work with him…” What she had said wasn’t necessarily a lie - they were only friends - but guilt still swept over Audrey, causing her stomach to churn. She couldn’t deny her daydreams, or the way she doodled glasses onto every man with brown curly hair in her magazines. She couldn’t deny how sometimes she wished she could stay in and drink tea with Seymour in the shop instead of going out with Orin. She couldn't deny how safe and comfortable she felt with Seymour. But it could never be, Seymour would never want to be with her. So now she was left feeling like an awful girlfriend to the man who had stooped far below his standards to be with her. She felt shameful and dishonest, and deserving of all the vulgar things she’d ever been called. Tears pricked at the corners of her eyes, “S-Seymour’s no one,” She said, her voice wobbling a bit. Her heart ached to say the words, but she wasn’t quite sure who it ached for.
