Re: Morning After
More than anything in that moment, Astoria wanted to be someone else, someone freer and more open and more brave. She wanted to pull Callie close again and kiss her and touch her and pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist. But she couldn't do that. Responsible, sober Astoria was back.
It took every ounce of her self control to keep from staring as Callie got dressed. What was going to happen now? Was her secret going to be out now? How would things change between her and Callie now? Would Blaise be upset with her? Would the Weasley's find out and attack her for being culpable in Ginny being cheated on? Quite suddenly, she wanted to cry.
"Of course," she managed to get out just before Callie apparated away, and not a moment too soon as she was quickly losing the battle with the tears.
