Old Habits Die Hard (Loki)

By the time Liz reached her room, she felt dizzy. It took her three tries to open the door before she got it to work properly and when she was over the threshold, she suddenly sobbed loud. Back pressed against the door, her feet slid out from under her and she ended up on the ground, crying - the sort of cry that involved your whole body.

She didn't want Peter to have to break Annie's heart. It wasn't fair to either of them for them to be here and have to deal with complications, so clearly it would be better if Annie could just spend time with Peter and Peter wouldn't have to skirt around the issue with Annie.

This was for the best, even if she felt like her world had been hollowed out.
