Maeve
Maeve drew in a breath, cracking open the bottle of mulled wine because she's going to need something to get through this. She took a long swig, cradling the bottle in her hands as her toes buried themselves in the sand. They're left to sit in silence. Nothing but the crashing waves to and the occasional cry from the Hels to keep them company. Finally, she spoke, voice seeming softer than it was before. The Madame more resigned than the starchild has likely seen her before. "Where do I even start..." She muttered more to herself than Seren.
"Well, I- I kind of was involved with Sunjata. It started sometime before the monsoons when Nate left. Right before your sister got here." Maeve pursed her lips, bringing the bottle up to take another swig. "He was going through a hard time. I was a distraction. Something to take his mind off of things and to help with Kamaria. Except I kind of fell in love with him. Wasn't supposed to. It was never supposed to be more than what it was." Her cheeks flushed pink and her eyes found the horizon, bottom lip caught between her teeth as the ache in her chest grew. A bitter laugh pushed past her lips and she dropped her eyes to the bottle in her hands.
It hurt to say it out loud. To finally admit it, but she needed to if she was going to move on. Seren was the only person she's admitted it to and she planned to keep it that way for the time being. "He doesn't know. Locke doesn't know. Know one does. Except maybe your dad and Remi." She shook her head, bringing the bottle back up to her lips, "Well, I got back from Stormbreak and it kind of went to shit from there."

Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothin' scares me anymore
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
Nothin' scares me anymore
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
