Redhawk Caldera I'm more than meets the eye

<3!!

She did worry for a moment as the silence hung between them. It wasn't enough to make her regret finally saying the truth as she saw it, but knowing it was right and recognizing the upset it caused could be two different things. Fortunately, it didn't seem like the reaction was directed at her after all.

She could stop there... but no. She couldn't.

Are you staying for her, or are you staying for him? Bridget suspected the latter. Whether Teya knew it or not. Her voice was softer as she asked, then continued. Even if that's true, it isn't right. If she ever finds out, all it's going to do is make her feel like it's her fault. Maybe you can hide it from her, but I doubt it. She'll blame it all on herself. Maybe she already did. That wasn't fair, when the only wolf with a real choice here was the one standing in front of her.

Pushing wasn't going to do any good, but she did wonder if Teya had stopped to even consider the effects this choice might actually have on her daughter. She was pushing this image of a happy family so hard - regardless of the individuals who made it up, whether they bought into it as well.

She wasn't a mind reader... but Teya had never been good at saying what she needed. She was staying with Reyes because she was afraid to leave him. Bridget would stake her trade on it.
