I fear it may be a very long time. I saw her with Royce and she would hardly even look at me. [But this isn't about him right now. Monty sighs.] I hope her anger is not long to last for you, either. Perhaps if you apologized? Told her it was only a moment of emotion, fear for her and for me. Paint it as fleeting anger, not a calculated assessment.

I very much doubt logic will appeal to her.
