Gabby noticed the nod, she knew she had been right about Eloise, she was always desperate for someone to be around. "Well at least you weren't drunk" she said, that was something. "I don't reccommend it by the way" she added ruefully, the ensuing headache and what had happened with Larten had put her off drink for the rest of her life.

Ryan nodded "I don't get drunk easy so don't worry about that."

"It seems I don't have the same resistance as you" Gabby muttered, although she was tiny compared to Ryan, shorter with a smaller frame. "Anyway this isn't about me" she said, trying to draw the focus away from herself.

Ryan was curious about what she meant but decided not to dwell on it and he closed his eyes thinking."

Gabby was bursting to tell anyone. She needed to tell someone she trusted, and Kevin was certainly not a possibility, he would want to go and fight. "Ryan" she started, no idea if this was sensible, or if she was just being selfish and sharing the burden. "The other night" she paused, not sure how she should say it, but she had started now.

Ryan looked at her and noticed her attitude and wondered what had happened "Yea..." he said waiting for her to continue.

Gabby looked away, although pushed herself further into his arms, seeking comfort. "I went to the three broomsticks. Larten was there, I've met him before. Anyway we were sitting, drinking, I can't remember what it was. I was mad at you and he was upset about something but I got drunk and we, he." she stopped, a shiver creeping down her spine. "We ended up having sex" she finished, her voice hardly above a whisper. Tears started to slip down her cheeks. She hadn't told anyone and all the emotions had stayed bottled up inside.

Ryan held her close to him and ran his hand through her hair as he listened to the story, trying not to let anger come in as it was obvious this guy took advantage of Gabby. He remained calm and whispered "It's all over now Gabby, everything is fine now." he said trying to calm her down.

The tears continued to pour down her cheeks, although at his words she nodded and the flow slowed a little. "I can't believe I got so drunk and" she broke off, Ryan would know what she meant. "I didn't mean to cry all over you" she said, apologising to him. "I can't tell Kevin though" she said quietly, glad that she could talk to Ryan about it.

"There will always be something there" Gabby whispered, looking up at Ryan, "something between us" One last tear slid down her cheek and she sighed. They had been too close for it to just disappear and not remain, even in part. Gaby bit her lip, to prevent the What if Vannah hadn't come along? question that was on the tip of her tongue from spilling out. She rested her head on his shoulder, content in his arms as she stared into the fire.

Ryan wiped the tear from her cheek and looked into the fire trying not to cry.

Gabby blushed at his touch, though it was done unthinkingly. Part of her heart still stirred at his words and his touch, but it was a part that decreased in size day by day, as the part for Kevin grew in turn. Gabby looked up at him and saw the tears in his eyes. "Oh don't you start" she admonished softly. She caught up his hand in her own and squeezed it gently. They may act like a couple, but the feelings were mainly platonic.

Gabby smiled at Ryan, "What do you have to cry about anyway?" she teased gently, then thought for a moment. "Actually don't answer that" she said softly. She sighed and looked into the fire, the sound of Ryan's heartbeat echoing in her ears as she laid her head on his chest.
