She listens, tilts her head like her brother often had when he was trying to figure something out. The mare, Dizzy, was curious and she finds herself wondering if maybe she could be a friend, or if there would nothing more than this conversation between them forever. Roma is quiet until she is done and then she shrugs slightly and sighs. “You know, I thought at first it could be more, that if I was patient and waited, I could be enough. But now...I know it’s not possible.” Another small sigh, a turn of her head to look out over the ocean remembering things past.
“It hurts, but I’m still here because I have nowhere else to go.” A small shrug as she turns her attention back to the mare, lingering on her face. “Besides, I love his daughter. She’s been through some shit so I’m sticking around some trying to see if I can help.” She didn’t think she was, but she worried about Kali and so she was around.
Even if her heart ached and cried at her loss whenever she saw Kerberos and Kali together. Especially when she saw him with Wallace. She knew, had known then that it was best to let her feelings go. And she was stupidly glad she had never let him known, never been quite brave enough. She almost smiles. “Men, am I right? Idiots most of the time. And we sit and suffer because we had the audacity to fall in love with them in the first place.” She snorts. “Idiots.” Shakes her head. “I’ve been wondering about wandering. Thinking perhaps it’s time I made my way someplace else. I just haven’t yet.” She hadn’t cut ties with him, hadn’t been able to quite give him up. So she wandered aimlessly around the Island.
Today she just happened to get lucky enough to find someone else to commiserate with. And it kind of felt good to let it all out. To stop keeping it so much a secret.
