The someone else had to be Gus, he was the only one she continually pestered without fear of being rejected. There had been they very, very brief fling with Algie, but that had just been for fun and they'd parted ways as friends. There had been nothing at all public about it. Gus was the only one subjected to her constant presence and that had only been because she thought Dory had turned elsewhere.
This whole thing was just a giant miscommunication. What else was new?
"I'm sorry that didn't work out the way you wanted it to." She murmured, watching him across the room without moving. She hovered near the fireplace, leaning back on the wall, finally realizing she should shrug out of her outer layers. Casually she unhooked her cloak and unwound her scarf, tossing them on the nearby chair unceremoniously followed by her gloves. Win truly didn't know what to do. The box on the bed between them seemed like the elephant in the room and she didn't know what to do with it. Had it been for the other woman? Was it for her? Was it even a ring? It had to be, what else would be so important that he felt the need to make its presence known.
"I'm sure you could fix it." If Dory had wanted something to go differently in the other situation, she was sure he could fix it. Whatever it was that had been, she certainly couldn't compare. Truthfully she wasn't sure she wanted to. If he had thought about marrying the other woman, Winnie would have supported him every step of the way. She was not the marrying kind herself, but she knew he wanted that.
