 Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch
The complexity of emotions Bryony was experiencing weighed heavily in the air between them. Gilly could sense the turmoil and the frustration in her friend's voice, though she honestly could not put herself in the other's shoes. She could not say she felt like she had ever been replaced. Seeing the blonde like this was only solidifying her own personal opinions about relationships and navigating them.
"It sounds incredibly frustrating," Gilly acknowledged softly. "Maybe giving it some time could help too. Sometimes, things settle or perspectives shift when we step back a bit."
Gilly wasn't sure if her advice, considering she herself had never been in such a situation, or if her being there was helpful. Her own thoughts briefly drifted to her brother, wondering how much he knew about this situation and if there was anything he could do to help. But her focus quickly returned to Bryony and attempting to comfort her, even if just a little.
"We, umm, don't have to talk about it anymore if you don't want to," she stated, her eyes not leaving Bryony. "And I can leave if you would like to be alone for a bit. Or if you want someone to just sit with you in silence, I can do that too."
