Blackwater Islands And you’ll still be by my side

Honest answer. Self-aware too. It was rare for a wolf to own up to their shit, usually because they couldn't even recognize what that shit was.

Crap parents? Or something else? Either way, Bridget couldn't relate. She'd had a pretty normal upbringing, all things considered.

Still feels a little like an excuse. But if you like it, who am I to judge? Was that shitty to say? Probably. She didn't jive with the idea that a wolf had to be miserable just because their life had been a miss so far. Gave the crap people who happened to cross their paths a little too much credit.

She wasn't optimistic that he'd elaborate, but she paused to give him the chance just in case.
