Redhawk Caldera I'm more than meets the eye

She didn't like hearing it but she needed to. It was all confirmation of things she already knew, regardless of her inability to understand the reason. Teya loved Reyes still, even with how he treated her, and so she wasn't going to listen. What was Bridget's advice worth? She wasn't family.

There was a bitter note to the thought, but mostly, she only felt defeated. She just had to watch then, while this all unfolded.

You can justify it however you want. But no one deserves to grow up and find out that their life has been a lie. I can only say what I think, and I don't see how this ends well for any of you. Bridget replied evenly. Life really is easier, when you figure out that the ones who matter actually want to hear how you feel. Maybe Teya would never change.

And maybe this conversation needed to be over, because Bridget sensed the boundary she had likely already toed her way across. She stood up without looking at her friend. We should probably get back, before someone else finds those ducks and decides to eat them first. Her previous high was gone, but she let a casual air overwhelm her words again. She'd said what she had to say - and now she'd drop it.
