[SE] summer days drifting away

Maeve

Maeve was too caught up in her own heartache to notice Seren's expression. Even as the youth took the bottle from her, the Madame didn't pay her much mind as she tried to find the right words to explain what had happened exactly. "I- I went to see him, but Nate was there." Her voice dropping into something bitter and she hated that she was still upset about it. That he still had any sway over the way she felt despite the conversation with Sunjata. "Let's just say it didn't go well. We... We both said hurtful things, but- but I think he was the victor in that conversation." Not that it was really a conversation.

A heavy breath pushed past her lips, brows knitting together as she brought the bottle back up, taking a long sip from it, letting the sour sweetness of the wine wash away the bitterness from her tongue. "And I was going to stay away from both of them. Just make things easier, you know? Sunjata was never going to love me and Nate... Nate is likely never going to accept me as a part of his life. So I figured that would be easiest. A clean break. Even if I wanted to remain freinds." Her expression twisted into something unreadable and she drew her knees up to her chest, dropping her chin to rest on the top of them. "Of course that didn't fucking happen. Jata and I ran into each other. It- It wasn't really a fight, but.. but things aren't the same as before. Not that they would be like that, but there is a wall between us now."

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