"She doesn't want to fight anymore", Violet replied
The words hit Jude like a rod hitting his head
"Did anything happen?"
Violet quickly explained their conversation in the garden
"She just said she is tired"
"Tired, how?", he asked quickly
"She said she is tired of explaining herself, of defending herself, of waking up every morning wondering what accusation will be waiting for her", she replied slowly
The more Violet spoke, the more he understood that Scarlett just didn't want to defend herself anymore
"Jude, I know I might not fully like her... but I haven't seen her like that before", Violet sighed
Then Jude turned and headed upstairs immediately
He headed towards Scarlett's room
He knocked twice
"Scarlett..."
"Come in", her voice came from behind the door calmly
Jude pushed the door softly as he saw her sitting near the window with a blanket wrapped around her shoulders
She was just simply looking outside as the fading sunlight illuminated her face
