I was betrayed by my first love, and it left my heart bruised.

[A pause, she decides to give him just a little more, to make it clear the man in question hadn't just left her for another woman. That, she could understand, even accept.]

Sold out. We were blackmailing someone together, and the moment he faced any scrutiny, he gave me up to try to save himself. Unsuccessfully. He ended up at a labor camp.

[calicoat]

I know. Well, you've alluded to it.

[ A betrayal from a former lover, he thinks, is how she'd put it before, the first time they'd gone out after that Christmas party. But there's a little more detail now. He appreciates it. ]

Serves him right. That's a cowardly move.

[astraythought]

Regardless, it's left a mark on my willingness to let anyone close, and my comfort once I do.

I do trust you, though, more than almost anyone here.

[calicoat]

That feeling is shared, Ducky.

[ If he didn't have people from home here, she'd probably be at the top of the list. ]

[astraythought]

Good. I'm glad.

I should, ah, probably get back to work soon. Mr. Creed will be looking for me if I don't.

[calicoat]

Of course. Talk soon, dear.
