"Vi," Steph began again, almost pleading, because she was starting to feel like she was in the familiar position of watching yet another person walk away from her even when she'd been trying so hard to not let it happen again. "Please don't..."
She could say that none of this had been in her control, that it wasn't her fault about turning into a cat or the timing of when she'd changed back, but...
Her shoulders sagged and she bit her lip, nodding.
"No, it's okay. I get it." Because it was her fault, wasn't it? With her impulsive decision to try and kiss Vi right before she'd turned into a cat, fucking up a perfectly good friendship by trying to bring feelings into things and make everything complicated? They could have just gone on without acknowledging their feelings until they both got over them, but no. Fucking typical of her, really. "I get it if you have to go. And I'm the one who's sorry. I really am."
