Roxanne was never meant to be the girl who wore the wedding gown and got swooned over. She was never meant to get a happy ending. And she had known that for quite some time. It did not bother her as much as it made her sad. Victoire would grow old presumably with Teddy have fat, cute babies who would slim out to be gorgeous and have the world at their disposal. Again, that wasn't Victoire's fault. It just was what it was.
"Look, I'm sorry about what happened between the two of us with Teddy. I knew that he had liked you when we... well I'm sorry. I knew then as I know now that I am not like you Victoire and you deserve some happiness."
Victoire eyed her cousin, shaking her head slightly, looking from her cousin to Teddy and back. "Rox...he's my best friend...I...I don't think he's interested like that. But I appreciate it." And she did, that must have been hard for her to say. Not being able to resist the temptation, Victoire gave her cousin a hug, squeezing her slightly.. "Maybe we should just let him make a move. And whatever happens...happens. We be happy for each other way. No guy, not even Mr. Theodore Lupin, is going to break our family up again. Deal?" Because Toire was thoroughly convinced she was just his best friend, and she wasn't losing the two of them because of petty jealousy.
Even if it was over the most amazing guy.
"Don't be sorry. You kissed, so what? I'm the idiot for getting so worked up over it. I was completely ridiculous. I had no romantic claim over Teddy, I still don't. Our relationship has always been purely platonic. In some ways...well, I should be thanking you. But I can't, because I'm sorry that in all this, when I was thinking only of myself, YOU got hurt as well. I'm sorry Roxy." And then from another look from cousin to best friend, Victoire frustradly ran a hand through her hair.
"And I think...it's time I make an apology to someone else as well...We okay?" But she didn't wait for a response, she through a smile at her cousin before tentavily approaching her best friend. "Teddy?"
