Redhawk Caldera Take your fears and let them go

Bridget had known on some level, coming into this, that if Teya was going to choose her she already would have done so. She didn't understand what stood in her way, but wasn't that always how these things went? When love wasn't guaranteed to come with two way requirements, someone was bound to get hurt. It felt unfair, in a lot of ways, but Bridget knew she had a hard path ahead. Love was harder to find when she couldn't look towards men to fill that space.

I'm sorry too. She stepped forward, hoping to embrace her friend if Teya would allow it. She wasn't going to let this come between them - no matter how badly it might hurt. Eventually they'd get past it. Until then she wouldn't mention it again. She couldn't force Teya to love her and, if she felt the same way Bridget did, choosing anyone else would have been impossible. Bridget closed her eyes, fighting tears. She wouldn't cry here.

I hope he makes you happy. And I'm glad you'll have someone. I really am. The fact that she wished it was her didn't change that. As long as Teya was happy, Bridget could live with the outcome. Someday she'd find someone who would choose her - and things would work out the way they were meant to.
