Raven's Watch silverwave

Bridget swallowed the forlorn desire that followed, though it settled in her like a shard of bone. You deserve to be loved. Wholeheartedly. It didn't matter if the thought was directed at Teya or within. It was true. For once, it was heartening that Teya received a dozen times the chances that she did. At least one of them might find that deserved happy ending someday.

Of course. Tell me about them? She let the conversation go into safer waters. If it hadn't before, this moment felt like goodbye, the confirmation of a parting that would happen, even if Bridget visited. She'd hold this conversation, this teetering on the edge, for as long as she could.

Just to see her. And I'll always be yours. The words couldn't come. They weren't fair to share, and though they were true, they didn't need to be spoken. She knew. That was enough.
