They couple hadn’t done anything together really since they moved, crushing Cat’s heart little by little. She knew Sam would need time to adjust but they barely spoke and if they did it was empty thoughts.

Cat was scared to go out in case of accusations circulated. She hadn’t even seen Ed as such unless he came to the house to see her. Cat knew this couldn’t continue much longer she was going out of her mind. Her love hadn’t grown nor dissolved but she found herself resenting the current situation.

Working her way to sit by Sam something that was never a regular occurrence, taking a deep breath before looking over.

Sam could feel those eyes bore her skin like they always did from afar, she had become accustomed to it. Although never managing to say exactly was was on her mind. She had thought countlessly about Cat and Frankie and trying to reconcile some of herself by bringing them together and finally being able to put this thing to rest.

“Sam, I think we should talk?”. Cat brought her knees together edging herself inwards to meet Sam.

“What about?”. Sam took another swig from her bottle braving herself behind her cold tone to see what she had to say.
“About us… I dont know if you really do want to be with Sam. I’m not saying you don’t love but it seems to me you’re not in love with me!”. It was hard for Cat to say those words in the realization it might be a matter of fact not fiction.

In the months since Cat had left Glasgow she had grown out the bob she had been sporting for a while opting for something less assertive and confident. She hadn’t took much pride in how she looked as of late because fuelled accusations was something she couldn’t deal with. Sam had accused her a few times of cheating since the move but she swore to her nothing had happened. She wasn’t sure if Sam truly believed everything she had to say but quashed her own doubts all the same.

“Cat… I am in love with you. It’s just I thought this move would have erased everything you know. But somehow it’s still the same. Maybe I went about this in the wrong way?”. Sam was questioning herself- would things be different if they stayed.
