A friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out. [SWS]

Cissie wasn't kidding when she told Cassie that she had lost her living room somewhere under all the camping supplies. She had lists--somewhere--of everything she'd bought and what it was all for, but at the moment she didn't care so much about all of that. At the moment she just wanted to get everything out of the store packaging and into the duffle bags and plastic containers so it would all fit in the van. She hoped it would all fit in the van.

She had asked Cassie to come by to help. While she certainly appreciated the help, she knew she could also have asked Bart, or managed on her own. But she wanted to spend a little time with Cassie, and to talk to her about what had happened over the weekend, especially the part where Bart told her Cassie had broken up with Tim and Kon to sacrifice her own happiness for everyone else's.

"Oh, Cass." Cissie pulled her into another hug. "You love them. You would all be miserable if you broke up."

"Not always." Her voice was...wistful. But not really for a time when they might be broken up and not miserable. It was something else. When Cassie imagined that future she imagined Kon with someone deserving. No one in particular but Kon had so very much to give. She never imagined him alone.

She pulled back and shook her head. "I wish love was enough, Cissie." Cassie tried to turn her attention back to packing.

Right. Like Cissie's going to let her get away with that. She stopped her, grabbing her lightly by the elbows. "Why isn't it?"
