So here's to everything coming down to nothing
Here's to silence that cuts me to the core
Here's to silence that cuts me to the core
Flora's words startled a soft, incredulous laugh from Soh, even as tears still prickled at the corners of her eyes, even as she wasn't sure the shape of them was entirely fair to Colt. "Seriously," she hiccuped. "I spent way too long on this makeup to have it ruined by tears." The joke, such as it was, fell flat, but no more of said tears fell, wiped gently and carefully away by Flora's care.
Soh sniffled faintly as Flora gave more context for the conversation that she had missed out on, but she still felt like she was reading every other page in a book, like someone had stolen half the words before handing it over with a good luck, enjoy and a smile. What seemed like it was black and white to Flora felt to Soh like a page written in screaming color, and she wasn't sure anymore what her opinion was on the matter - not that now seemed like a good time to debate it, when Flora had just done her best to defend Soh, and had come rushing after her like she always had when her best friend needed her.
Still, Flora was right about one thing: Soh had never lied. She had maybe made a mistake in how she'd gone about telling Flora about Colt's offer, but everything she'd done, everything she'd said, had been truthful - to both women. Gods, in all her life, her honesty had gotten her into more trouble than anything else, when all she'd ever tried to do was be open and truthful - and look where she'd ended up, again.
"I'm so sorry, Flora," Soh sniffled at last. "I should have just told her no to start with, then this never would have happened. And, oh, your party! Kaisel worked so hard to make it perfect, and now -" Now she'd ruined it.
