“There is nothing to be sorry about.” Teddy told her with a reassuring nod. “Things could be worse, I think. Trish has kept brewing the potion, for both Dad and I. And he was here when I first got injured to help me through it, and has recently returned again, and helps me deal with everything.” He grinned a little bit, and despite the fact that he wasn’t with Victoire, he really couldn’t wait to introduce her to his parents.
Teddy squeezed her hand back, when she squeezed his, and let out another sigh. “I don’t know if anyone has explained, how people come and go in the village. They do. You’ve been here a few times, when I first got her, then you were gone. For…” He chewed on his lip, “a really long time. While you were gone, I started seeing another woman. Her name is Amelia, and… I’m madly in love with her.” His heart was breaking for his friend. “That doesn’t change how I feel about you in your time, or how I feel about our future, Victoire, and I need you to know that. I will always be here for you, as your friend, because I cant imagine you being here, and us not talking, but… I’m in love with Amelia.”
