“I’ve been quiet for too long…”
Elizabeth’s voice rang out and Serena almost, almost flinches. She knows Elizabeth well enough to know she is angry, she’s loyal as hell, and she won’t let this go.
“Let it go Beth…”
She speaks softly, watching Elizabeth settle back and she curls against her side. Elizabeth is fierce, loyal and loving but Serena is tired enough to let Arthur win. She will survive as she is. She has to. She must. Elizabeth’s lips brush her cheek, then her ear.
“He has no… no right…”
“Let him win Beth, let someone else take him on.”
Serena murmurs the words, seeking Elizabeth’s lips.
“I’m happy just to be yours.”
