Lachlan smiled, or at least tried to. This was good, he told himself. This was.... closure, almost. The last time they parted ways had been abrupt, and Lach had always wondered how having one last conversation might change things.
"I... appreciate that," he said, his stance relaxing substantially. He shifted on his feet, leaving her an opening to flee if she still felt the need to. "I'm... I'm glad you found someone who will make you happy." He dropped his gaze to her feet, not knowing what there was left to say. I wish things would have been different?, or Maybe we can still be friends? He could see them being friends, maybe years from now when their lives were different; but it had been a long time since Lach kept friends closer than casual drinking buddies, and he couldn't envision trying to pursue a friendship with her while she was an engaged woman.
