If you could go back to yesterday
Soh was trying to understand. Really, she was. But she couldn't understand or condone the fact that apparently, Zavien lying to his best friend would have been the best outcome of the conversation. "I just - " she started with a frown. "Okay, so would it have been better for Zavien to say he wouldn't tell Koa at all - therefore potentially lying to Kaisel - and then, if Koa pressed him about it, to either damage his relationship with his best friend or break his word and tell the truth? Because it sounds to me like somebody would have ended up mad either way. It feels like relying on Koa not to ask the right questions to set off a chain of events that just ends in anger no matter what." And that wasn't fair. It was putting Zavien between a rock and a hard place. Why hadn't Kaisel just lied about dating Flora, then, if it was so important to them to keep it a secret until they could have talked to Koa?
But she deflated at Flora's searching question, because apparently it wasn't over, not by a long shot - and Soh was only making things worse. Folding in on herself a little, she shook her head. "I want it to be," she said softly. "It's all over and done with, so it doesn't even matter now. Koa knows, right? And it didn't ruin his relationship with Kai, so... it should be over." "Should" being the key word. But that didn't make it a reality.
Soh sighed, leaning her head back against the chaise to stare at the ceiling, feeling disappointed but not sure in who. "It does suck," she agreed. She'd never been someone to stand her ground, often because she didn't feel strongly enough about a topic to risk an argument. But this... this was different. She refused to think about why that was. "Maybe it's not too late to patch things up," she said, but there was a shadow to the words.
Tilting her head, she tried to catch Flora's eye. "I love you, even if we don't agree on this," she said. "I just want you to know that."
