Giving the barest hint of a smile, Daphne looked down at the nearly empty cup, fearful to meet his eyes. "We have been one anothers solace for so long I fear we don't know how to break from the pattern, but I'd be deluding us both to say that I would want you out of my life." Though she was more than aware what it meant for her and his relationships. Both she and Blaise had had no problems when Ginny and Dean had been 'new', when they'd been in the honeymoon phase; but as always it came to pass after that they were drawn together.
Perhaps he was right, they should change something. Daphne knew, deep down she loved Blaise, but, not as she use too; not as she loved Dean. It made her heart more heavy with the thought. A year ago she would have married Blaise had he asked with out a second thought, these days she knew she could not. Even if her heart still wanted too.
She was glad to pull out of her mind, to once more focus on him. Reaching out to take his hand again, squeezing it slightly. No matter what, she would always be his friend, his greatest confidant so long as he would have her. "Someday Blaise, you will be able to share it with her." Daphne wasn't sure that was true, but she wanted it to be, knew he needed it to be.
