"It would've been easier to get over it if he'd been an asshole about it. I can't even hate the girl he--" She nearly said 'imprinted on' but thankfully stopped herself, because she wasn't sure she wanted to explain it, "--fell for. She's family, she was like a sister to me. I don't particularly like either one of them anymore, but I love them. I hope they're happy, I hope they have a good life. I just didn't want to have to stick around and watch."
It still hurt enough that her eyes stung, but Leah responded to hurt with anger and rubbed at them furiously. "But apparently that's unreasonable and selfish."
