( blue is probably a natural at mothering, though she doesn't think she would be and she's probably about as confident in her ability to deal with children as she is in her ability to negotiate her way out of allowing helen gansey to endorse her merchandise. that is to say, very little more than zero percent confident.

she's surprised to hear that gansey was that irresponsible. she's also... hurt. because that means that gansey kissed another girl and enjoyed it enough to have sex, not that blue expected anything else, or to see him again ever, or... well. today is just turning into a day of things she didn't expect. calla and maura are going to get an earful when she gets home because how could they not tell her about this? how? they had to have known. )

Oh. ( that's all she can say. oh. because of course he did the right thing, of course he did what high society deemed proper. she doesn't ask, but the questions are all bundled into each carefully placed syllable. did you love her? were you happy? do you miss her? ) I'm sorry. ( that's all. it's a repeat of what she's already said, but. what else can you say to that? ) If it's any consolation, growing up with just one parent isn't all that bad. I think I turned out alright.
