Elizabeth had all but stormed out of the city hall, tears forming in her eyes. It was all too much. The emotional backlash, she couldn't handle it anymore. Her only coping method was reading and while she knew it wasn't the most sociable thing to do at a party but that woman, Mal, had really annoyed her. When the book got taken off her, she could hardly help but to lash out. Her entire mind was a jumbled mess and the fact that Jake could see that made her uncomfortable. She always wanted to be the strong one, not the messed up one. All the day before the party Elizabeth had been on the edge of a breakdown and what happened just set it off. Scrubbing at her tears she sat down heavily on a nearby bench, putting her head in her hands. She was done with it all.
