Then a curse came. A quiet sigh slipped out of her as she stared at the closed door.
"Did I actually mean that?"
The thought lingered longer than she expected.
Daniel joining her. Joining them.
She wasn't entirely sure where that had even come from. Maybe it was the way Cole spoke about him. Maybe it was because, despite everything, Daniel had still walked in and admitted the truth instead of lying to her face.

Not soft.
Just… tired of people being used and thrown around like weapons.

That was all.
Just like Cole always did with hers.

But trust?
That was different.
