Title: Apology Rating: G Length: 167 Competitor: Alanna Round/Fight: 1/H Summary: She had never before appreciated how easy things were with George.
Alanna supposed it was good for her to have somebody who didn’t understand her as easily as breathing. She supposed it was good for her to have somebody who she couldn’t take for granted because of it. You’re supposed to know that I’m not angry at you, she wanted to say. You’re supposed to know that I only snapped because I’m wound up about other things. She wanted Kel to reach out again, to touch her and to ask gently what was bothering her. She wanted to look into Kel’s eyes and see that she had accepted the apology that Alanna didn’t need to give. But Kel wouldn’t. Kel couldn’t; she wasn’t George. That was obvious from the look of shock and hurt that quickly been replaced by blankness and a gaze directed away from her. She didn’t like it, but Alanna supposed it was good for her to have to work at a relationship. She swallowed her pride and took a deep breath. “Kel, I’m sorry.”

I love the notion that Alanna has to be a little bit careful with someone else.
