Raleska couldn't bring herself to look at Rosalyn fully. Not now. It wasn't because she was angry with her mentor, but because she was angry with herself, her life, her decisions.. She was angry with how hard everything had to be. Why? Why did life have to be such a miserable bitch? Why couldn't any of them have had it easy?
That was all she really wanted, too. To thrive, to exist -- not claw for a miserable living. She loosened a sigh, wishing that Rosalyn and Erzulie both could stay. It was selfish of her, but Raleska was so tired of moving, of running all the time. She had been running her entire life.
"Home isn't a place." Raleska countered softly, feeling a tug of something cold hit her heart. "Home is your people." She fell silent for a moment, wishing things could be different.. wishing she didn't have to answer the next question Rosalyn posed. Do you regret it? "Of course I do.. but I don't think it was wrong. I think you can regret something you've done, and know it was still right to do anyway."

all of which makes me anxious,
at times unbearably so.
