"But, now you can play all you want. You have a new chance at life."
Gemma smiled slightly, but shuffled her hooves on the ground all the same. "I suppose I'm just sad that--that when my mother and I split, she, well," she sucked in a breath before replying. "She said that I didn't love her. At first I thought maybe she was right--" with a snort, she shook her head. "But now I know she was just trying to guilt me into staying. I still love her, even if she doesn't think so. I hope her new foal makes her happier than she was with me." There was no bitterness in her voice, only a desire that their ending should be a happy one. "Thanks for listening," she said quietly, a little embarrassed.
Chance nuzzled her. "It'll be ok."
