Redhawk Caldera Wanna try to paint the world in a new way

Bridget let her collect herself for a moment. She still seemed upset but at least wasn't inconsolable anymore. Internally she was torn between a desire to hold Sorana's confidence and a desire to tell Teya that she needed to talk to her daughter. Why hadn't she already?! Reyes had been gone months.

Then you tell me and we will set things straight together, Bridget said with a small smile. Then she wiped some of the tears herself. Teya wouldn't let that happen. But even if she didn't stop it, I promise I would. I'd chase him away before he ever got the chance to replace you. He wouldn't be able to do it, anyway. You're one of a kind, ladybug, and I love you way too much to ever be okay with someone else. It made sense that Sorana didn't see love that way but it also hurt Bridget's heart to hear it. Love wasn't replaceable like that.

For Teya, it was.. The thought cut. She and Reyes had both been replaced with something simpler, but Sorana had only seen the one. Bridget would never tell her about the second. There was a small blessing she could find in it; would they be having this conversation if she were in Bronco's place?
