Double Drabble: Trapped
A loose sequel to Purgatory. Well, I think the Drabble Challenge is over now, and I still have a huge family of plot bunnies all over my HD, but still. Here's part 3, so to speak. Sorry no happy Jill/Cindy - yet?

"Rumors of my death have been greatly..." Lindsay coughed, as much in pain as denial. "Exaggerated."
Jill smiled at her, gently touching her hand. "As happy as I am to hear your voice,
take it easy. Glad to have you back."
Cindy felt like an intruder on this intimate moment, regret like a weight on her chest, making it hard to breathe. What would have been the right thing? Not getting into this relationship with Lindsay when she'd known they had some issues to overcome? Give them time to face said issues, and not run off with the first attractive, caring woman coming her way who happened to be one of Lindsay's - and her own - best friends?
Cindy couldn't tell anymore. All she knew was that she'd made one mistake after
another, resulting in hurting those she loved most.
Why hadn't they told their friends? It would have kept that blurry line of friendship and something else between her and Jill much firmer. Too little, too late.
"I'm sorry, I've got to go," she blurted out, fleeing from the room.
