Brianna got more comfortable on the bed. I paced the room. The incident from earlier played through my mind. Sabastian said he did not have a choice. He apologized. Why would he? It could be for the fact that he was leaving me for good. But that was not his fault, so it would not have made any sense for him to apologize. This was Sabastian. He never apologized unless it was necessary.
If anyone should have apologized, it would be Scarlet. She was the one who gave up and took Sabastian with her. Two for one. She was well aware of how much he meant to me. Yet, she did it anyway.
I rubbed the side of my face with my palm.
I could not even be upset. Scarlet gave up to protect me and Brianna. It was a heroic move, but who to tell Deanna would keep her end of the deal. She was a cunning woman. Scarlet's caring side normally overshadowed her sense of reasoning. Deanna knew this. She had used Scarlet's weakness against her.
