"I've always loved him. Life debt aside," she sniffled, "he's... mine. I'm his. We've never even had to say it. It just was; it is." She stared at the floor for a few seconds, mouth-breathing, before looking back to Piotr.
"He told me he realized how he felt while we were apart. He wanted me to-" it didn't matter. "I felt the same way. I didn't realize until today." And what a fucking day it had been. Eva's hands ran through her hair and she pushed the semi-damp locks back out of her face. "I don't know why I didn't know... maybe I didn't want to think of him that way." Romantically. Or, rather, as a partner and not just Logan. But they'd been partners for quite some time - within the school, for starters. "I'm sorry, though. I'm sorry I was so nuts while he was gone. I dropped my basket." She closed her eyes and took a much-needed deep breath. "You deserved better and I couldn't give it to you. I'm a grown woman; I was acting like a kid from the system again. Like, I had one good thing that was always going to be there, a constant, then it was taken away and I didn't know how to cope. He's back now, though, and... he wants to be with me..." Just saying it out loud for the first time made her tingle; it made it real.
