Mya hadn’t truly meant to insinuate that she didn’t trust Allison. In fact, there probably wasn’t anyone she trusted more. Recent events had just been... Taxing, to say the least. She wanted to be stronger, she had been trying her best to work at it, but she was slipping. The drained, pale face of the man they left to die haunted Mya. She saw him in her dreams and while she was awake. Accepting that they’d had no other choice but to leave him was a challenge for her, one she might not overcome anytime soon.
“I... I know.” Mya grimaces at some of Allison’s words, but nods slowly along with them. Her wife is right - of course she’s right. but who can say if that makes her feel much better in the moment.
“I’m sorry.” She takes one of Allison’s hands from her shoulder and holds it in both of her own, gently stroking her fingers over it before bringing it to her mouth for a light kiss. “Obviously, if it came down to it... I’d choose you too. Always.”
