Swiftcurrent Creek Now you know I'm paper-thin

Reverie smiled to see the way Arric interacted with Blossom, but when he started to address all that had been happening lately, the expression died. Her eyes fell sometime around when he mentioned trust. That was everyone's problem with her, it seemed. She did not know how to trust, not properly.
I trust you - as much as I can trust anyone, She sighed, and met his eyes again. Which isn't a whole lot, no. I'm sorry, Arric. I didn't mean to be dishonest with you. I've been dishonest with myself, I think. I've spent so long telling myself that if I don't do what's best for me, no one will. But I'm starting to realize I never really knew what was best for me, and all I've done is push everyone away. Lestan most of all, and at that thought her eyes began to burn with tears.
I... don't want to hurt Blossom the way I've hurt everyone else, Reverie admitted. So I'm going to try to do better. She deserves stability. She wasn't sure she could ever provide that, but she would try. There was nothing she wanted more than to achieve this, now that she was starting to realize what parenthood really meant.
