"Well, Hana could fight back a little better than Sophie," Wren says with a small smile. "If she wanted to." He squints at his coffee. She wouldn't, though; Hana is, in this regard, a little endlessly patient about Rian.
He gets it, though. God, he'd hated Robin. One of the only times he'd felt pure jealousy, and not even of her being with Rian: Rian and Robin together was like a neon sign broadcasting everything he couldn't be. It only made it worse that she was industry. Respectable.
He has to bite back his initial response, which is to question how good Rian is at it for something he doesn't like. "Me either." He looks up. "What if we just -- didn't?" It's childish. Naive. It's so the same part of Wren that always stupidly thought that everything would be okay because he wanted it to be so badly.
He shakes his head, recognizing that. "I know it's not that easy. You know? I hurt you, and I just kept doing it. I don't know if there was a way we could have made things work, gotten what we both wanted, back then, but I didn't try."
