She was still waiting for her heartbeat to still when he offered up the key.
What was that? She despised him. Completely and utterly, no question there. And she wasn't the sort to believe that everyone had a kind, warm, gooey center. The world wasn't made of hearts of gold with steel casings. There were bad, bad people and he was one of them.
Brief lapses of humanity, that was all you could hope to get. Moments of kindness between all the instances of cruelty.
She hated him. But, and she couldn't begin to explain why, Cordelia kissed him again. She reached out, she took the key in her hands, and she kissed the horrible, terrible, really genuinely godawful man a second time, eyes open this time and hand still on the key.
