She nodded, not looking at him again. "I...know you thought I didn't love you...that I couldn't. But you have no idea how much I did," she said softly, raising her eyes up to him. "But as a friend."
Being with Bruce...she knew what love was. And while she adored for and cared for Erik...he could never even come close to what she had with her husband.
"Another thing I wish I could change, but if wishes were unicorns..." she shrugged. She missed her friend, but she understood why he hated her now. She would be the same if someone harmed Bruce.
