They had made a mistake, a really huge mistake but there was nothing they could do about it now except move on. "Why would you want to tell her? It will only hurt her and it's not like it's going to happen again." she trailed off. No, she would not let Evan make a mistake like that again, not with her anyway. Even if it meant she had to stay away from him. Just because her life was miserable didn't mean she had to make his that way too.
"It's not like you intentionally cheated on her, it was a mistake, something that just happened. You just had a lapse in judgement, that's all." Yeah, it had to be a lapse in judgement otherwise why else would he want to kiss her? "Again, I'm not going to say anything to anyone but it is up to you if you want Mina to find out. You do what your heart tells you to do. As for me, my heart says don't go running your mouth and getting Evan in trouble for something he didn't do." She sat there looking him in the eyes now. She didn't know if any of what she was saying was getting through to him at all or not. She hoped it was because she really didn't know what else to say.
Evan looked pretty unsure, even though Marie tried to comfort him that it wasn't lying. Part of him--a huge part, for sure--wanted to believe her that it really wasn't lying. But, on the other hand, his conscience was pretty uncomfortable and he knew for sure that it
was lying. She trusted him, after all, and he had just betrayed that trust. Simple as that.
He looked up at Marie again when she said it would only hurt her. That part was 2,500% true--it'd
devastate her. And he, for sure, didn't want to do such a thing. He sighed.
"It's happened once, and I think that's enough." He gave a little, wild laugh as he looked away. And now, he had messed with Marie's life too. Because she had just broken up with
Jerk-ter, and she also didn't know what she was doing while it all happened... yeah, he had to apologise from her too. Right after he solved this crisis.
Sighing, he asked
"If I told her... how d'you think she would take it? Like, would she believe it would never happen again and that I wasn't really thinking?" He
had been thinking, actually, quite well, but like Marie said--he was thinking how much he missed her.
And yeah, a little about Marie.
