Summary
“I told Quay that if he felt so unfulfilled in our marriage then maybe we should… separate,” she whispers. “And he agreed, so I… left.”
Patia’s eyes widen marginally, and she thinks that perhaps only her closest confidantes in the Ring of Brass would be able to sense the shock evident in that slight reaction.
“I just wish I could turn it off,” Laerryn mumbles, resting her face in her hands as she tries to control her breathing. “I keep replaying it, over and over, and it just makes me mad because he doesn’t understand, and maybe that’s my fault for not telling him, but I— he can’t know, not yet, so maybe this is just… this is my only option.”
“It’s not an ideal option, that much is obvious,” Patia observes quietly, reaching out to stroke a curl behind Laerryn’s ear with a gentle touch. “But as much as I am unable to trade in advice for this situation, if it were… amenable—” her hand traces down Laerryn’s temple, to her jaw, around to her full lips, thumb pressing on the bottom one lightly— “I could assist in dealing with those pesky, runaway thoughts.”
