Veronica let out a long sigh and closed her eyes. She knew she went to fast but she didn't know how to make it all make sense. Maybe she'd done more harm than good. But she wanted to start with the things she had asked about and go from there. "I know, it's...that was too much. You can't take me anywhere. You know that." She looked up at Sam and her heart lifted at his squeeze to her hand. It was good having him there even if he might have felt a bit useless.
"I guess...the important thing is that I never stopped loving you, even after you were gone. I did change though, both because of what happened to you and what happened to me. Which is why I wanted to let you know what happened. That...you'll probably see stuff online about Logan and I. People are OBSESSED with us as a couple, so...I know you'd find out about that. It's weird telling you in person, again, but we-Logan and I-we sort of came together because we both loved and missed you. Even if he could be a total jerk, he's a good person under that." She looked over at Sam and spoke the next as much to him as to Lilly.
"But here? I care about Logan the same way I care about you. As a FRIEND, even if a really good one. Sam's the one I love. And I think that hurts him still, so he's going to need both of us now that you're here."
She managed another smiling curling up. "You're here now. It's so weird to say that. Everything else doesn't really matter."
