If you could go back to yesterday
"No, I agree, that would make total sense for him to say," Soh agreed, relieved to have something in the conversation that she could see in a positive light. "But what if Koa kept asking? Like, okay, if it was us, and you tried to deflect like that, it would just make me start making all these assumptions that may or may not be true, and then I'd be spiraling and probably asking what you knew," she pointed out. "I mean, maybe that's all he meant, that he wouldn't lie if Koa pushed him." She hated maybes with a burning passion just now, but it was all she had to grasp onto.
Softening as she flopped back onto her chaise, Soh huffed a sigh. "Maybe that will change," she said. If she could just talk to Zavien, she was sure that she would better understand the situation - and the potential for resolution. She didn't expect Zavien and Kaisel to be besties, not now, but to tolerate each other long enough to be in the same room would be nice.
With all the fight taken out of her, Soh felt tears threaten when Flora took her hand. She squeezed back, swallowing against the sudden thickness in her throat, so relieved that it was almost too much to feel when she already felt wrung dry by the conversation. "I promise," she said immediately, without even an ounce of hesitation. "You're basically my sister, Flora. There's nothing in this world that could pull us apart." They'd already been through so much and come through stronger; what was a little more?
"Can we just chalk it up to 'men are idiots who don't know how to handle their feelings'?" she asked weakly, knowing it wasn't a solution, but extending the olive branch anyway.

Would you change it all for me?
