It had been lovely while it had lasted. She'd found faith in humanity again. She'd felt like she'd found a home. She'd had a lovely daughter and a family. And she hadn't lost all of it. She still had friends, and Keri was the light of her life. But without Scott here, things seemed...empty. She hadn't fully understood his reasons for leaving, partially because the pain had been so intense when he'd told her about his intentions. It had been everything she could do at the time not to start sobbing hysterically. She'd managed to remain strong when he'd told her...but she still wasn't sure exactly how.
At the beginning, people had been sympathetic, but new things happened. New people arrived, and old things were forgotten. And Bri was feeling alone, sad, and empty. She'd considered going home herself, but there was nothing but misery for her there, and she would never subject Keri to that nightmare.
Right now, she was sitting on the rocks near the waterfall, nursing Keri as she watched the water with sad eyes. She knew she should try to socialize more, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it.
