[ fine. she'll take the shot. and then slam the glass back on the bar with a little more vigor than necessary. ]
You want to talk? [ she works her jaw briefly and then nods. ] Not about him. Because every time we talk about him, I don't have any choice but to remember what he did. I'm glad he's won you over, but in all the time he was charming you, did he point out that he kissed me that night? And when I pushed back, that's when he went to find someone else to keep him occupied.
[ she regrets the words by the time they're out of her mouth. it's faye's birthday - this is absolutely not the time to be pointing out anything that would be another hit to her self esteem, and that seems like it'd cause any teenage girl's stomach to sink. ]
He's not a good guy. He's a pirate. And given enough time, he'll find somewhere else to get his kicks. [ she pushes herself out of her seat. one more in a long line of shitty guys she's - what, dated? she'd never even let hook get that far. ] That's why we don't talk about it.
[ all the good he'd done in scotland undone in an instant. faye's the constant reminder - not only because of the way she pushes it, but because of the fact that emma's certain faye doesn't know just how shitty he was to her. she cares entirely too much about faye to just let that drop. it's not even about how it affected emma. she'd expected no better from him, he'd never given her a reason to then, so she could easily dismiss it. but faye is someone she feels the need to protect, and even if it had happened before she'd come to know her well, she still can't rid herself of that reminder. faye may want her to let it go, but faye (she believes) also doesn't know the whole story; it'd be a betrayal to the girl for emma to just forget about it. ]
