VICTORY IS HOLLOW
By
Darby Brennan
Set after Involvement.
After Ann walks out of Doyle's life, it's Bodie who is left to pick up the pieces.
An established relationship story.
Written: December 2007. Word count: 100.
I never liked her.
I never thought she was right for Ray.
I always reckoned she'd hurt him.
I was right.
She did.
She bloody well did.
She walked out on him. Left him.
He's hurting. So much.
Always wears his heart on his sleeve, does my Ray.
Always feels things deeply. Told him more than once not to. But he won't change.
His feelings now are raw, deep, intense, brutal.
I knew she'd hurt him.
I was right.
She did.
And once again he's mine.
But my victory's a hollow one.
Because it came at a price: his pain.
