we should talk ab this over the phone

gloria
okay
you're right

The phone rang twice before Everett picked up.

"Care to explain?" she asked, her melodical French accent rolling off her tongue.

Gloria sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose, leaning back into the couch cushions. "I don't even know where to start."

"Well," Everett said, "you made a mistake. Let's start there."

"No shit," Gloria breathed. "God, I'm so stupid—why am I so stupid?"

Over the phone, Everett laughed. "What is it you Americans say?" she asked. "'Beats me'?"

"Shut up," Gloria grumbled. "I just—I don't know why I pulled away." She shook her head. "Like, when he was about to—you know—I just pushed him and started sobbing."

"Because you can't stop thinking of Marcus," Everett supplied, and Gloria exhaled sharply. "Does Sebastian even know what happened?"

"No," Gloria answered, heart heavy with guilt as she fiddled with the seam of the couch's soft fabric. "I didn't. . . know how to tell him." She shrugged. "And what if he sees me as irresponsible?"

"He won't." Everett's voice was determined. "He won't, because it wasn't your fault."

"But it was," Gloria whispered, her eyes stinging. "I convinced him to go out that night. If I hadn't. . ." she ran a hand through her hair and trailed off.

"Listen to me," Everett said softly. "It wasn't your fault; you couldn't have predicted what was about to happen."

Gloria bit her lip. "But—"

"No!" Everett exclaimed, making Gloria wince and hold the phone away from her ear. When she put it back, Everett was in the middle of a sentence. "—can't choose which way life takes you, Gloria. It took you down a path without Marcus during a time you thought you couldn't live without him."

"Yeah," Gloria whispered. "But I did."

"You did," Everett echoed. "And you're okay now, aren't you?"

A single tear slipped down Gloria's cheek; she reached up to wipe her nose with her sleeve, then nodded. "Y-yeah."

"You went on," Everett continued. "You got better, your knee got better, and you went on with your life no matter how much you missed him. No matter how much you still miss him." She clicked her tongue, something she did when she was deep in thought. "You're allowed to miss Marcus while loving someone else."

"I know," Gloria sniffed, then added, "I don't. . . love Sebastian."

"But given time, you certainly could!" Everett pointed out. "Listen, I have to go. I have rehearsals and I still haven't had my coffee."

"Oh, I forgot about the time difference," Gloria murmured. "I guess it's pretty late by me, huh?"

"No shit," Everett retorted, a smile in her voice. "Go to bed!"

"Okay," Gloria breathed. "Bye. Love you."

"Love you too, ma cherie," Everett answered. "Bye." She hung up, and Gloria let her phone fall onto the couch cushions. A moment later, it pinged, and she picked it up to see an all-caps text from Mickey.
