Re: Lori + Scor
Lori could feel tears threatening to spill, but he pushed them back. He was at fault here, and he had to make it right. He had the thought of mind to cast a strong privacy spell around them, and followed Scor out into the fresh air. It was cold, but that didn't matter.
"I was at the Leaky, and we ended up having dinner and drinks. I don't even remember how many drinks." He paused, not wanting to offer up useless excuses. "I offered to let him use my Floo to get home, but we ended up talking some more, and then before I knew what was happening he was kissing me."
He knew he was making this seem like Dylan's fault, when he was just as at fault. "And I didn't push him away at first. It was familiar, and I wasn't thinking clearly. And then I thought about you, and I couldn't go through with it. I pushed away and told him to go." He was glossing over a lot of the middle, but this was the important stuff.
He reached out to touch Scor, but pulled back at the last minute. "I'm so sorry, and I wish it had never happened. I want to go back and make it not happen, but I can't. I won't blame you if you can't forgive me, btu I don't want to lose you."
And he meant it. Scorpius was good for him, and never made him angry or upset, and hadn't broken his heart. He was nice, funny and attractive, and Lori felt good when they were together.
