#you've.

      the way that lou looks at debbie shows sincerity .   it’s apologetic, evident sadness spread across her distinctive features .   ‘  deb - ‘  she doesn’t know what to say,  she doesn’t want to sound insensitive .  not towards debbie .  never towards debbie .   ‘ you were away for - what ? - five years ? i tried to wait for you. ‘  she did and it had been hard and impossible .  lou had no idea when debbie was going to get out,  she couldn’t wait forever .  ‘ but life got really fuckin’ lonely. ‘  she isn’t the type to show her vulnerability but debbie ocean had always brought it out of her .  lou trusted her, she loved her … just not in the way she used to .  ‘ tammy was there for me, i fell for her deb - i fell hard. ‘  gaze locates the ground and she watches it, scuffing her feet a little against the concrete floor.  ‘  i don’t want this to come between us . ‘

           arms locked around her chest   ,   as if to protect    herself from the one person she never thought she would be forced to   ;   from lou   .   she senses her facade slowly slipping away   ,   even if the expression on her face fights to remain in place   /   firm and guarded   .   it’s the eyes that give her away   ,   swirling with silent hurt and betrayal that lips will never confess to   .    ❝    so   …   you love her   .   don’t you   ?    ❞   she already knows the answer and it makes her voice crack despite her best efforts to not show any sign of vulnerability   .   she’s done with that   .   she may trust people when it comes to jobs   ,   she has to   ,   but not when it comes to her heart   .   not anymore   .    ❝   well   ,   um   …   good for you two   .   fucking congratulations   .   ❞
