Strange response

There was an awkward silence that hung in the air after Lilith said this.

She had turned her head away as if she didn't want to look at me, but there was a part of the way that she acted that seemed like she wasn't able to look at me.

It was almost as if there was some kind of secret that she was hiding from me with the way that she turned her head.

I just remained in silence since I really didn't know what to say in response to what she had said.

There was a part of me that wanted to refute what she said, but I realized that I couldn't since I didn't know everything about this thing in the first place. At the same time, a part of me recognized that she must have her reason for saying this.

It was just that she wouldn't tell me that reason…

Seeing her like this, I felt a bit conflicted.

There was a part of me that wanted to ask this, but there was also a part of me that wanted to trust her to a certain extent.
