irish roots, planted in new york. trauma surgeon. stubborn to a fault, divorced mother of two. mdni.
β thatβs not fair . i never would have looked twice at him if you hadnβt β¦ β
her chin is wobbling , her eyes are stinging , and she doesnβt want to do this . she doesnβt want to blame her but how can she not think her partly to blame ? β
β she upended their lives , she made her feel like garbage , she brought out her insecurities β¦ and he was there , helping her pick up the pieces , gluing her back together . what else could she have done but love him ?
β it doesnβt matter . β
everyone knows that saying . a drunk man tells no tales . and she isnβt trying to . sheβs never dishonest where she can help it .
β i love you more , β she blurts out desperately , the worst fucking cliche sheβs ever used . β i want to be β
β with you more . please . you have to know i didnβt want this to happen , you have to know i fought it . β that sheβs still fighting it .
β it isnβt a competition . iβm going to let him go back to scotland and β¦ i wonβt see him , i wonβt β
β yes , β she bobs her head stupidly , bits and pieces of the conversation floating back to her . sheβd said all of that and more , and she shouldnβt be saying anything at all . sheβs too drunk to think it all through .
β and he knew i was β
β thereβs no spinning it . heβs leaving , i was upset . β she blinks hard to bring the room back into focus , stumbling closer and taking her forearms . β i am not drunk , i am tipsy . β potatoes potatoes .
β i do . something must be wrong with me , β chuckling , she flushes pink at the kiss to her cheeks , and makes the mistake of turning too quickly , mouth brushing over astoriaβs lightly .
β sorry , β she whispers but she hasnβt pulled β
she comes back in , smiling drunkenly when she sees her , clearly unaware of whose phone sheβs holding . β came to join me ? iβll get you a glass . β
all of the alcohol in her system calls for a bathroom break , and she leaves her phone unattended on the sofa , the chat thread with theo still open .
