Anna woke up with a splitting headache to sunlight pouring in through windows in a room that was not her own. She glanced around searching for a sign of the bus that had clearly hit her. She found herself in a bed and pulled the comforter over her eyes to stop the light from crashing into her. Unfortunately this did nothing to explain where she was, so she had to let the light in again. She squinted, glancing around, trying to recall any of the previous night's events. She saw green curtains – annoyingly undrawn, a brown carpet, a few throw pillows on the floor, and a woman lying next to her. Wait, what?

She gaped at the woman. She saw dark hair with tan skin before she had to hide her eyes from the light. She pulled the covers back over her head. Oh no. There's no way I already slept with Moana. I don't even know her. Besides, I have a girlfriend. Wait, is it cheating if she's poly? What am I saying, I can't just go sleeping around with people! Get yourself together, Anna, you have to think. What happened last night?

She took in a few deep breaths, which only caused her head to ignite once again and brought back no new memories. She felt her body to see if she was still clothed. She was. Oh thank god. She dared to look outside of her cocoon again. She finally recognized Nani's bedroom, and she recognized the woman next to her. She was in bed with Nani and they were both fully dressed. I must have just been too drunk and stayed the night. I didn't do anything stupid.

"Morning," a voice from behind her called.

Her head split open anew. She turned around and saw the curly-haired woman, who she had just been thinking of standing in the doorway. She groaned out an attempt at a reply. After the first failed try, she decided to bury herself under the comforter again instead.

"You two are such lightweights," the younger woman laughed. Anna groaned in pain in response to the continued assault on her head. "I'm making bacon, eggs, and coffee. It'll help with the hangover, come out when you can manage to stand up."

A few minutes later, Anna found herself in the kitchen. She could scarcely believe she'd managed to make the short walk; she thought she was going to spend the entire day under that comforter. Why do I have the feeling that I'm forgetting something? She glared out of half-closed eyes at the breakfast before her. The eggs were runny and the bacon was too floppy, but the coffee tasted like the nectar of the gods. She soon found herself, if not back to her old self, then at least in the general realm of human. "Thank you," she managed to blurt out.

"How could I resist helping a beautiful woman in need?" Moana blushed, embarrassed by her own forwardness. "Sorry, that was so cheesy. Let me rephrase – you're welcome."

"What happened last night?" Anna asked. "I remember meeting you, then we were at the bar, and then nothing."

"Nothing exciting, really," Moana explained, sitting down next to her and sipping her coffee. "We had a few drinks. Then we had a few more. Then we had maybe a few too many. Nani tried to set us up, but I told her I wasn't ready for anything like that."

"She did? What happened to her being terrified we'd get together and run off?"

"Drunk Nani is a matchmaker. Are you seriously telling me you've never gotten a few drinks in her and had her immediately start trying to set you up with the first girl that looked your way?" Moana laughed. "I actually let her last time. That relationship lasted for three years."

"I've been with the same person for the past fifteen years. It never really came up," Anna answered.

"Oh, wow," Moana paused. "You didn't mention your partner all night."

"Well I mean I'm getting a divorce, but, wait, I didn't mention Esmeralda? How did I not mention Esmeralda? She's like all I've been thinking about lately. That doesn't even make sense." Anna blinked, searching desperately for memories that didn't exist. There's no way I didn't mention my girlfriend.

"I think you may have had other things on your mind," Moana said shyly, hiding behind her coffee and a coy smile.

"What happened?" Anna asked, her voice growing higher. What isn't she saying? What did I do? Oh God, we really did have sex.

Moana hesitated, her foot tapping random notes on the floor as she considered her response. "You tried to kiss me," she blurted out, before shutting her eyes, not wanting to see how Anna took the news.

"I... tried to kiss you?" Anna's face was now beet red, as she stared at the young woman before her. "I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me. You're just so beautiful, and I'm so new to being gay, and I mean you looked so amazing in that suit, I just wasn't thinking. Not that I wouldn't want to, I'm sure kissing you was amazing. I'm so sorry!"

"I didn't let you. I said that you were too drunk, and if I was going to kiss you I wanted us to both have a clear head. You seemed a little sad, but you backed off. We still flirted some, but that was about it," Moana explained, squinting through one eye, waiting for Anna to grow upset.

"Oh," Anna breathed. So I didn't cheat. Wait, is it cheating? Either way, I didn't do anything wrong.

"Don't worry, I'm not gonna try for it now either. I just got out of that three year relationship last week, I'm not ready for anything, and it sounds like you're going through your own stuff. I'd love to hang out sometime, but I'm not ready for anything more than that," Moana explained, finally opening both eyes, hoping that Anna was okay with all of this.

"Oh," Anna gasped again. "Wait, hangout as in like friends, or –"

"Friends!" Moana insisted. "At least for now. You seem like a lot of fun, but right now that's all I'm ready for."

"That's wonderful!" Anna chirped. "I could really use a friend that understands this stuff, it's all really new to me, and I'm already dating a girl, I don't think I'm evolved enough to start two relationships at the same time, handling the ones I already have is enough for me."

The two turned when they heard footsteps dragging themselves from the bedroom to the kitchen. Nani was finally awake. "Did you save any for me?" she asked, sniffing at the mingling food smells in the air.

"Yeah, I have a plate ready for you." Moana handed their hostess a plate of food and a mug of coffee. The look on Nani's face suggested she may as well have just been given a million dollars.

"Thank you." Nani devoured the food.

Anna glanced around the apartment. Something still seemed off. Something's wrong. What is it that I'm forgetting? "Oh no!" She cried, as the realization finally struck her, now that the worst of the hangover was over. "Where are Olaf and Lilo?" There was no way it was still so early that the children would be asleep.

"I managed to wake Nani up for long enough to explain to me where they go to school, and I dropped them off," Moana explained. Wow, she really did hold her liquor better than us. I miss being in my twenties.

Another realization struck Anna. "Wait, school! What time is it?"

Moana checked her phone. "It's a little after nine."

"I'm late for work! I have to get going," Anna insisted, looking around for her purse.

"I also took the liberty of calling in for you," Moana explained, placing a calming hand on the panicked redhead's shoulder. "I'd asked Nani about it for both of you. I don't know what you two were thinking trying to drink a pilot under the table on the night before you both had work. Really, now." She grinned.

"So I'm not getting fired?" Anna asked, relief washing over her.

"I just told them you had a bad stomach bug. It was pretty accurate at the time too. You're lucky you don't remember that part. It should be fine, just don't do a repeat performance tonight."

"Of course not! I would never! Well, clearly I would the once, but I wouldn't do it again," Anna insisted.

"Thank you, Moana," Nani added.

"Oh, right, thank you." Anna amended her previous statement.

"It's no problem, like I said, you two are lightweights, somebody had to take care of things. I'm used to it." She grinned the same cocky, shy smile, that Anna found strangely irresistible. Just friends.

"I should really head home," Anna began. "I need a shower, some clean clothes, and maybe a few more hours of sleep."

"Well it was great meeting you," Moana replied. "I'm in town for a few more days if you want to grab lunch or something."

"It was great meeting you too and lunch sounds great. Could I get your number? If I could just find my phone." She resumed her search for her purse.

"Over there," Moana pointed towards the living room. "You dropped it there when you first got in and passed out on the couch."

"How did I end up in Nani's bed then?" Anna asked, staring at her purse as it lay beside the couch.

"That's between you two," Moana laughed as she fetched the purse for the immobile redhead.

Anna snarled in response, but took the phone from her purse and handed it to Moana after unlocking it.

She entered the details and saved them. "There, hit me up tomorrow or Wednesday if you're free. If not then maybe next time I'm in town."

"That would be great," Anna decided. "I'll probably be up for lunch tomorrow, I'll let you know."

They all bid farewell and Anna made her way home. After a long hot shower, she changed into her pajamas and collapsed into her own bed. Four hours later she opened her eyes. She hadn't even realized she'd fallen asleep. She checked the time on the clock on her nightstand. It was two o'clock. She'd need to pick up Olaf from school soon, but it wasn't quite time to hurry yet. She dressed and considered her life. This had been a very strange week.

She thought about talking to her sister. She hadn't told her about the date yet. Anna made up her mind. She'd call Elsa on the way to Olaf's school. She finished getting ready and hopped back into her car. Once the phone was connected to her car's speaker system, she made the call.

"Hello?" Elsa asked, her voice sounding uncertain. It was, what, the second time she'd called her in the last five years? Can hardly blame her for sounding surprised.

"Hey, Elsa," Anna replied cheerily, feeling substantially better after her extended nap.

"Hey, Anna. I'm still at work, what's up?"

"You're still at work? It's like 5:30 there."

"I have a monster of a case," she sighed. Anna could hear the sound of a spring squealing. She imagined her sister spinning in her office chair as they talked. "I don't usually get home until seven, if not later. Right now, I have until Wednesday to get ready for a case I've had for a week. I need every second I can spare." She paused. "Sorry, I didn't mean it like that, I can spare a few minutes for my sister. What's up? How'd your date go?"

Anna blushed thinking about the date. "Um it, well..." It was like trying to describe her sexual escapades to her mother. It felt weird. "It went really well."

"Tell me about it," Elsa insisted, her voice sounding lighter and happier than it had when she'd answered the phone a minute before.

"Okay, fine. She took me to this really amazing restaurant in town, and we talked and got to know each other, and then afterwards I... I went back to her place, met her goats, we had sex, and now she's my girlfriend, but she's polyamorous, and I barely even know what that means, and I don't know how to handle it!" Anna tried to breathe.

There was silence on the other end of the line.

"Elsa?" Anna asked, glancing at her car's display to see if the call was still connected.

"Sorry, I'm here, that was just a lot. Wow. I'm glad I told you to get those dental dams. You did use protection, right?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, good. Anna, don't you think you're jumping into this too quickly? How well do you even know this girl? I know how amazing that first time can be, but I'm worried about you. You're just getting out of a fifteen year relationship You're not even divorced yet, and you already have a girlfriend. You don't think this is moving a little fast?" Elsa asked, her voice raw with fear for her sister. It reminded Anna of what she was like when she'd been her guardian.

"Well excuse me, I thought you'd be happy for me!" Anna snapped.

"I am happy for you –"

"It doesn't sound it."

"Anna, I'm just worried about you."

"I'm not your kid anymore, you don't have to worry. I'm an adult now, I can look after myself."

"Anna –"

Anna hung up, muttering expletives at the empty air. "It's not going too fast, she's just perfect for me!" Sorry we can't all be as perfect as you, Elsa. Some of us can't just date world-famous celebrities while being multi-trillionaires or whatever.

Anna pulled into the parking lot of Olaf's school, still fuming. Her car rang. Elsa was calling her back. It was the first time Elsa had called her in longer than she could remember. Even as mad as Anna was, she couldn't help but answer. "Hello?" She echoed her sister's prior greeting.

"Did you just hang up on me?!" Elsa growled.

"Yes," she sighed.

"Anna, I'm just trying to look out for you, you're still my little sister, even if you are all grown up now. I don't want you to make the same mistake again."

"And what mistake is that?" she shot back.

"Jumping into a relationship before you know what you want," she replied coolly.

Anna chewed on her lip. She had been in precisely two relationships in her life now, and one of them was barely a day old. She was not exactly an expert on the subject. But it doesn't feel wrong, I feel like I know exactly what I want. Esmeralda is amazing, and she's the first woman I've ever been attracted to. I think. I'm not doing anything stupid.

"Anna?" Elsa asked, worried she'd been hung up on again.

"I like her!" Anna insisted, sounding all the more like a whiny teenager.

"I know you do, and she seems to like you too, but you've only started exploring your sexuality, and are you sure you're ready for a polygamous relationship?" Elsa asked.

"Polyamorous," Anna corrected.

"What's the difference?"

Anna hesitated. She resumed chewing on her lip. Before her sister could think that she'd hung up again, she answered "I don't know."

Elsa sighed. "Doesn't that seem like the sort of thing you should know if you're going to be in one?"

Anna huffed, but her flippant response died on her lips. "Maybe," she allowed.

"I'm not saying don't date her, just make sure you know what you're getting into. I just want you to be safe."

"I bought the dental dams!" Anna joked back.

"You know what I mean," Elsa replied, laughing half-heartedly.

"I'll be careful, okay? But I'm not backing off. I want to see what happens with her."

"That's all I can ask. Thank you. You handled this a lot better than the last time we had this conversation." Her chuckle was genuine this time.

"Oh, you mean when I ran off to Kristoff's house and didn't come home for a week because I refused to listen to you saying that I was rushing into a relationship just because a guy said he liked me?"

"That would be the time, yes."

Anna grumbled. "Well just because you were right last time doesn't mean you're right this time."

"I know."

She's not even trying to rub it in? "I'll be careful okay? I love you, Elsa, you're a way better big sister than I act like you are."

"I think I needed that," Elsa blew out a sharp breath.

"What's wrong?"

"It's this case, it's just – Don't worry about it, you have enough on your plate."

Anna considered what her sister had said the last time her work had come up. "You are a good person, you know."

Elsa choked back a sob. "I have to get back to work. Love you, Anna, have a good night."

Elsa had hung up. Anna stared at her phone, worry replacing her anger with her sister. I wish I knew what was wrong, then maybe I could actually help her. She resisted the urge to call her back, instead going inside to pick up her son. He ran over to her immediately, waved goodbye to Lilo, and gave his mama a big hug. "I missed you too, Olaf," she smiled. "Let's go get some dinner, I'm starving."

When they returned home with a large pizza, Anna noticed a text message on her phone. It was from Esmeralda. "I missed you today, is everything okay? You never call out sick." A smile lit up her face as she read it. It was almost nothing, but she couldn't help but feel that it somehow proved Elsa wrong. She wasn't jumping into a relationship without knowing what she wanted, she'd found someone who really cared for her and made her happy, and she just happened to instantly get together with them.

She hurriedly sent back a reply. "A friend's friend was in town and I went out drinking with them. It was a terrible decision. I haven't been that hungover since college. I'll see you tomorrow. Dinner tomorrow?" She looked up from her screen to find Olaf staring at her.

"You look so happy!" he exclaimed.

"I am."

"Is it Esmeralda?" he asked. How does he know that?

"Eat your food, Olaf," she insisted, ignoring the question and shoving a slice of pizza into her mouth so she couldn't answer.

The next morning, Anna swung by her girlfriend's classroom before she went to her own. Esmeralda was sitting at her desk eating a muffin. Anna was almost surprised to see her, as she didn't exactly tend to be anywhere early.

"Good morning," Esmeralda greeted her, before belatedly adding "babe."

Anna started. I mean, I guess we are a couple, it would be weird if we didn't use petnames. Just wow, I haven't ever had anyone other than Kristoff call me that. It's different. A good different, but still very different. "Good morning, honey," she replied, sitting on the younger woman's desk, waiting until her mouth was no longer full of muffin to kiss her.

"Glad to see you're not too hungover again," Esmeralda teased as she set her muffin down. She rose from her chair and pressed against the beautiful woman sitting on her desk, her hands sliding around the redhead as she moved into a deep kiss. Anna's breath caught as she almost fell back onto the desk, supported only by Esmeralda's grip. "I missed you," she reminded Anna, as she broke from the kiss and left the inexperienced girl panting.

"I missed you too," Anna gasped, her mind still reeling from the kiss. Kristoff sure as hell never kissed me like that.

"You doing anything for lunch?"

"No –" Oh crap. I told Moana I'd probably have lunch with her today. What am I gonna do? It's just a friend thing, so it's not like Esmeralda should be jealous. I mean, she shouldn't be jealous anyway, I'm allowed to date other people. But I'm not dating anyone else, because we're just going to be friends. But should I really go have lunch with her when Esmeralda wants to? "I told a friend I'd try to meet them for lunch, I'm still up for dinner with you though if that works," she decided. I should have lunch with Moana, it'll be nice to actually remember some time with her.

"Dinner sounds great. I know the perfect place."

"You always do," Anna agreed, giving the younger woman another quick kiss before heading out. "Let me know when and where. Love you," she called back as she left the room. Wait, did I just. No, there's no way I said that. I'm not that far gone. She let out a nervous laugh as she walked back to her classroom. I totally just told her I loved her. I don't, do I? It was just a dumb automatic thing. I'll just ignore it, she probably didn't even notice I said it. It'll be fine.

She sent a text to Moana, confirming that they were still on for lunch. Unsurprisingly she didn't hear back immediately, it wasn't even 7:30 yet, no sane person would be awake at this time if they didn't have to be.

Shortly before lunch, she received a confirmation text from the other woman. She gave her the location and time, and Moana offered to pick up food and meet her in her classroom. Anna agreed readily, happy to not have to rush back to make it in time for her next class.

Before long, Anna found her new friend seated across from her with two pulled pork sandwiches and a bag of sweet potato fries. "My favorite food cart. Have you tried them before?" Moana asked. "They're just a few blocks from here, it worked out really well."

"I haven't," Anna answered, trying a bite of the sandwich. It was delicious, she could see why Moana liked the place. "It's really good!"

Moana smiled as she took a bite of her own sandwich. "I'm glad you like it," she said between bites.

Anna took a few more bites, savoring the sandwich. "Oh, wow, I forgot, how much was this? I'll pay you back."

Moana waved her off, her mouth full of food. She swallowed before adding "Don't worry about it."

"Are you sure?"

Moana nodded as she chewed another bite.

"All right," Anna relented. "Thank you."

"It's my pleasure." She simpered. "I had a lot of fun getting to know you the other night, and I'd like to do so again now that you'll actually remember."

Anna blushed. Getting to know me? I was so busy freaking out about trying to kiss her, I didn't even think about what I might have said? What did I tell her? How well did she get to know me? I barely know anything about her. She's a pilot, she can hold her liquor, and she's Nani's friend. Oh, and she's gay and looks amazing in a suit. That is officially the complete list of my knowledge of Moana. What did I tell her?

"Freaking out about what you might have told me?" she asked, sipping from her soda.

Anna nodded. Oh god she can read my mind!

"I can't read your mind, I'd just be thinking the same thing if someone had said that to me."

That's exactly what a mind-reader would say! "Well, all right, as long as you're sure you can't read my mind."

Moana stared into her eyes. "Let me try. You're thinking how amazing I look in a suit."

"Please, that was like two minutes ago, wait, I mean, I am not!"

"Then it's settled, mind reading is not one of my skills." Moana finished her sandwich and dug into the sweet potato fries. She caught herself continuing to stare into the teal eyes of the redhead before her and quickly tore her gaze back to the bag of food.

"So what did I tell you?" Anna finally asked, dreading the answer.

Moana blushed. That's not a good sign! "Nothing all too exciting," she muttered, stuffing a fry into her mouth so she had time to think.

"What did I say?!" Anna grew flustered as she waited for an answer, running over every possibility in her mind. I already know I told her she was attractive. Oh no, what if I flirted with Nani? Am I attracted to Nani? I did wake up in bed with her yesterday. Oh god, what did I do with Nani? "Was it something about Nani?"

Moana burst out laughing, then studied the older woman's face, looking for a sign that she was joking. "No, God no. Nothing like that. You were just really sweet. You told me about how you were just figuring yourself out, and you said that I was pretty much solid evidence that you were right about what you were. That I made you confident in your gayness. It was a little weird, but incredibly flattering. And believe me, if you weren't so drunk and I was ready, I would have acted on it." She put a hand to her mouth.

Moana glanced away from Anna and noticed a spot of barbecue sauce on her blouse. She scrubbed at it with a napkin. She had abandoned the blazer today, going instead for just a button-up top and slacks. Anna caught herself staring as the other woman wiped at her chest. She turned her gaze to her desk instead. Just friends, remember! Seriously, weren't you straight last week?

"I should probably get going," Moana announced, looking awkwardly at the floor. Anna had been too busy staring at her desk to notice whatever had bothered Moana.

"Oh, are you sure?" Anna asked. "I still have ten more minutes."

"Yeah, it was great seeing you, I'd love to do this again sometime. I should be back in town in a couple weeks."

"Want to do something then?" Anna suggested, desperate for a yes, as she had a growing fear that she had done something to upset the younger woman.

Moana looked her in the eye and couldn't help but let loose a shy smile. "I would love that. Maybe the 24th?" she suggested.

"It's a date," Anna replied chipperly. "I mean, not like a date date, a friend date. It's hanging out. I'll see you then!"

"I'll see you then," she agreed, giving the redhead an unexpected hug. Anna hugged back as soon as the surprise wore off. Moana smelled incredible, like coconuts and sea breeze. I'll have to ask about her shampoo sometime.

Anna arrived at the restaurant. Esmeralda had suggested Francisco's, a local Mexican place. Anna had had to circle the block three times to find it. The restaurant was tucked away in a corner down a flight of stairs and attached to a coffee shop. She made it ten minutes late, to find Esmeralda arriving just behind her. They met at the door.

Esmeralda swept the redhead into a brief kiss, before leading her inside. "I love this place, best tacos in Portland."

"I don't know, I've had some pretty good tacos before," Anna insisted.

"Yeah you've had mine," Esmeralda laughed. Anna looked at her in confusion.

"You haven't made me tacos."

"Let's just order," Esmeralda sighed, shaking her head.

"Ohhh," Anna exclaimed a few seconds later. "Sorry, just got that."

The two women ordered and took their seats. "Your classes going okay?" Esmeralda asked once they were seated. "I hope those brats haven't been giving you any more trouble."

"Recently I think we've come to a bit of a standstill. No one has tried to pull anything more since I gave them that pop quiz."

"Well, like I said, let me know if they do and I'll have my students beat yours up." Esmeralda winked.

"I thought you were joking about that."

"That depends on how bad they are." Their server arrived with the two orders of tacos, as well as a water for Anna and a horchata for Esmeralda. Esmeralda played with her straw, watching the drink.

"Is everything okay?" Anna asked, taking a bite of her taco. Okay, seriously, how is every restaurant she takes me to so good? Is she drugging me?

"It's about earlier," Esmeralda answered after a long moment's consideration.

"Earlier?" Oh. "Oh. That was nothing, don't worry about it."

"That's what I've been trying to convince myself. Anna, you don't think you might be kind of rushing into things? That we're rushing into things? We've been on one date and we're already supposed to be a couple. I'm not saying I'm against it, but I barely do relationships, let alone like this. I'm worried about you, I don't want to just be another person who hurt you." Esmeralda gazed into Anna's eyes with a mixture of concern, hope, and sadness.

"You're not going to hurt me. I'm not making another bad decision. You make me happy, I feel safe with you," Anna insisted. Right, which is why you're already crushing on another girl and won't even say it to her.

"Are you really okay with being poly?" Esmeralda asked. It was not the question the older girl was expecting.

"I – I think so. I'm still not really sure. I haven't taken that much time to process it," Anna answered truthfully.

"It's a huge part of who I am, I don't do monogamy, hell I barely even do commitment, but I think you're special enough that you might be worth it. I'm just worried that our timing couldn't be worse for you," Esmeralda explained.

"But you helped me realize who I am. Your timing isn't bad, it's perfect. I'm just getting out of the relationship I've been in most of my life. Well, half of it."

"And you don't think jumping into a new one before that one's even over is a bit fast? You don't think that maybe what you really need is some time to figure out who you are?"

"I am figuring out who I am. Esmeralda, what are you saying?"

The younger woman's gaze returned to her drink. "I don't know. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, I just don't want to be unhealthy for you."

"You're the first healthy thing I've ever had in my life!" Anna almost screamed.

"That doesn't sound that healthy," Esmeralda sighed. "Besides, it sounds like Elsa was healthy for you, and Nani is healthy for you. I'm worried that I might be entering your life when it's too unstable, and that I can't escape the baggage that will attach to me, and to you. You're important to me, and if we're to have something together I want it to be real."

"What brought all this on? I just don't understand. I thought we were fine."

"What you said earlier, I know you didn't mean it yet, at least I don't think you dud, but it made me start thinking, and I'm trying really hard not to let it influence things, but I'm just really concerned."

"It just slipped out, I guess I'm just used to saying it to my... partner?" She tested out the phrase.

Esmeralda leaned back in her seat and stared at the ceiling, her food forgotten. "That's exactly my point. You're just swapping out one person for another and trying to keep the same behavior."

"I'm not, it was just an accident."

Her gaze fell back down to her girlfriend. "Not with just that. With everything. I'm not replacing Kristoff –"

"I don't think you are!" Anna leapt from her chair and pulled Esmeralda's hands into her own. "I see you as you. You're what I want, I'm not just trying to fill some hole in my heart."

"'Just?'"

"I didn't mean it like that." Anna took a step back from her raven-haired lover, pleading silently for that title to remain.

"I thought I'd managed to talk myself out of this," Esmeralda growled. "Anna, I think you need to take some time away from me. Just, see if this is even what you want. I'm not sure I'm ready for something this serious, and I'm quite certain you're not, no matter how vehemently you may insist you are. I'm sorry."

Tears flooded Anna's vision as she took another step back. "You don't mean that."

"I think I do. I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to happen like this. I'll go, you should finish your food. Just... Never mind, I'm sure we'll talk eventually. I'm gonna go. Bye." She ran out before Anna had a chance to reply. Anna slumped down in her chair, and the tears finally came full force.
