Bittersweet (Game, Set and Match XIII -After 'The Long Way Home')
Buffy told me, yesterday.
Looked me in the eye, saying ‘If it weren’t for Ethan then I mightn't have made it out that funky dream-thing.’
I swear my heart missed a beat.
I’d long decided that my handing Ethan over had been overkill. After all, what had his response been, aside from retribution to my actions?
The latest Challenge.
‘Ethan?’ I asked, trying not to care.
It wasn’t safe to care.
‘Yeah. I went to try and bust him out after, but he’d been shot. In the head.’
Game, Set, and Match to me.
Funny.
Doesn’t really feel like victory.
