When Sam started talking, Faith immediately wanted to kick herself for not being convincing enough. She was meant to be helping him, not dragging him down with her issues. But then she actually realized what Sam had said and she looked up at him with a flare of genuine hope in her eyes. "I can? Ask that I mean?" She swallowed hard and kept looking at him. "I'm trying here, I swear, it's just.... it's her. And I want to help, I do and I understand it, mostly, but sometimes it's too much."
Because it was her, and it was the reminders that the affair had happened. Faith could guess the kinds of things that Ruby was saying, and she had seen for herself how much of a mess it made Sam whenever it was happening. It was easier for her to forgive the world ending attempts than the personal side of it all, and she knew that watching Ruby's attempts at that were going to sting like a bitch.
"I know it's different now, and I'm glad for that, really," and she was. Even with the hard side, she was glad for it. "No more hiding and secrets, it's good. It's just the other side too. How much she messed with everything. I don't know what she's saying, but I can guess. Maybe she's lying, I don't know. I just know how much she's tainted. I mean you've been my best friend since before she was even in the city and sometimes it feels like she tainted all that too. And that's hard to deal with sometimes."
