“I tried to,” she said with agitation. “But then he was going on about how he had kept it from everyone and I wasn’t special in that regard, and that it was about his daughter and I shouldn’t take it out on her and said when I was done having a pity party, maybe I would consider having dinner with them,” she said with a bitter laugh before covering her mouth as her eyes went wide and tears fell. Why now? Why lately did she finally develop tears? She was trying to figure out if it was a subconscious thing on her part but it was definitely a new and interesting development.

Sinclair watched in silence. After a few moments he said “Well, one advantage to being a hologram… your mascara is still flawless.” with a kind smile.

Cori gave him a slight withering look, but her overall expression lightened ever so slightly and her hands rested tightly together in her lap.

“Let me ask you this… you said you feel betrayed, which is understandable and a perfectly normal reaction. Do you feel guilty about feeling that way?”

She considered the question for a moment and thought back to her earlier statement. Dalton nodded slightly. “Our breakup was an amicable one. We just were in different places and my disappearing, which he considers a death, was hard on him. I should be happy for him that he’s moved on and found love and has a family now. But…” She wiped away the fresh tears. “I can’t ever have that. And that hurts and I don’t know if I can sit in front of his child and not feel resentful that all this time that’s what he ultimately wanted, even if he didn’t know it. And I’d never be able to give him, or anyone for that matter, that.” The thought hadn’t fully formed in her head but now it made sense. That little girl represented everything Cori had lost. She’d never have a child, never be a mother, and so far it was proving exceedingly hard to find anyone who’d ever want to be in a relationship long term with someone in her circumstances. It made her previous feeling of loneliness that much more profound.
