[ this time when she hits him it's with a closed fist, a nasty right hook that connects with his chin and leaves her hand hurting, but it's almost guaranteed to have hurt byerly more. she never used to fight like this, never used to know how, but as it turns out, tucker's a pretty good teacher, and she isn't a terrible student, either.
the blow catches in her breath, too, fighting off another round of tears. she's never known anyone to make her so angry. she's been bruised before, hurt by people, but none of them have ever made her this angry, and she hates it. but she doesn't stagger back, even as she withdraws her hand to rub over her knuckles. ]
