One of these days, Bridget knew that the quiet hurt would disappear. She'd been in this spot before, only then she'd been early rather than late. She never seemed to get the timing down.

So she was prepared for it, when she caught Teya's eye, and turned to sit down easily a short pace away. Accepting reality wasn't lying; it was the right thing to do.

Maybe. I didn't take to it right off, but it tends to grow on you. I'd be glad to teach her. She finished and was quiet for a moment, contemplating it. She was still full of plenty of easy silences. Even if she hadn't promised not to, she didn't really want to talk about her time away. And Teya didn't seem to want to talk about Reyes.

Or maybe she'll want to study the stars. She added, recalling her friend's interest and the times they'd talked about this before. She'd never really spoken highly of her own interests, but Bridget figured it was a pretty solid bet that her daughter would love the stars. Especially if Teya took the time to explore them with her as she grew.
