Abby stood next to you, looking at the large fish tank with you as you both waited for Yara’s surgery to end. “Wonder how these fish survived all these years.” She attempts to lighten the mood.

She knew better than to act out on her feelings too quickly. She had manners. You were going through a tough time of waiting for Yara’s arm to heal and Lev trying to figure himself out. They both saw you like a big sister. And finding love in an apocalyptic world would only lead you to death.

But she couldn’t deny how she adored seeing you be so caring to Lev and Yara, like a mom. It made her heart flutter. Whenever you two would take out your enemies together, it made her core ache seeing how independent you are. She was feeling emotions she couldn’t explain.

“Think they’re pretty?” She turns to look at you, studying your facial features. After helping you and Lev save Yara from the Seraphites, she found comfort in you under 3 days. Quicker than her and Owen.

She tried convincing herself that these feelings were platonic but she can’t lie to herself. Maybe it was the internal shame of liking another woman. But the heart cannot be stopped.
