She'd messed everything up so badly. It had been a couple of days and she still hadn't been to see Hiro. She'd all but walked out on her home, on Ianto and Banon. Duck had offered to build her a whole new place because Hiro was staying in her little house in the Hamlet, but it wasn't as simple as that. It couldn't be.
She'd slipped into the little house while Hiro had been gone, to grab a few things; a spare bathing suit, some t-shirts, some underwear. She'd come away with a few other things, too.
She was sitting on the beach with her heels pressed into the damp sand. The crane necklace that Ianto had given her for her first island birthday was strung around her neck on its leather cord. She was holding the pearl ring that Donald had proposed to her with between her fingers. She'd said no to him because of Hiro, before she'd found out everything else that had been going on.
Sometimes, it felt like every time she got back on her feet, this goddamn island found a way to knock them out from under her. Losing Hiro, the shrine, Donald and Josh, and now, Hiro had come back and she'd lost Ianto, all in one day. All through her own goddamn stupidity.
"Goddamn it."
In one smooth motion, she threw the ring that Donald had given her into the ocean.
It didn't make her feel any better.
