her heart rate is through the roof. her face screwed up with narrowed brows in horror. she should have known. [...] should have known she would be here, &. it hurt more that she'd tried to shut out the memories of their friendship. because it was easier, somehow. her excuses felt so paper-thin. no matter how real they really are. "cassidy?" she asks, kneeling down to the girl's level, even as she stands there.
the suit is close behind, what she's tethered to. the officer's forehead has broken out in sweat, but still she can't take her eyes away. her mouth held slightly open despite holding her breath. "it's me -- i -" she pauses, shaking her head while finally looking away. if just for a moment. "but you probably already know that." vanessa nods now, swallowing. voice quivering. "cassidy, i am so sorry."
