Raven's Watch how to be sexy with bugs in your teeth

When Rose turns to look at her, she holds her breath. Should she finish her sentence? Did she mean it? Of course she means it. It just popped out, like a second nature, and perhaps for her benefit, Rose doesn’t say anything about it. Maybe she didn’t hear it. Maybe it’s for the best.
 
“I don’t, but I’m sorry for hurting you,” she says carefully, trying to release a shaky breath. For a while, Mallaidh also thought she’d never see Rose again. None of this would have happened if it hadn’t been for Blixen. The sudden thought of her ex-girlfriend causes her jaw to tighten, shaking her head a little.  Her cheeks burn with a mix of embarrassment and anxiety. “I won’t do it again. You’ll know where I am, always,” she tells her though she doesn’t know, through it all, if her friend will even trust her again.
