Even as she sat down on the edge Sloane winced when Alice spoke. She'd known Cameron had said some things he hadn't meant, had gone too far in some of his choices, but to learn that's how far it had gone was... disappointing. Still, it didn't really lessen her guilt in the situation "He said he had said things he didn't mean." To know now that was what he'd said, made the argument that much more real for Sloane. It also meant the chances of them reconciling were slim.
"Still, at the root of it, my lack of awareness of how everyone else felt is really what caused all of the problems." Had she known, maybe she wouldn't have chosen to say anything to Cameron and they could all at least still be friends, instead of a fractured friend group and the two of them alone on an unsteady island. Had she known Sisse had feelings for Cam and things had still progressed this way, she would have known to explain to Sisse instead of trying to hide it. Maybe they would have explained to everyone what had happened. Ugh there were too many what ifs and she hated it. Clearly she had made poor choices, but Merlin she just wanted to make it right.
"I'm not making excuses for him, I don't agree with how he handled it," Which was a little hypocritical of her, but she had learned from her experiences and she'd hoped he had too, by extension. "But I'm still sorry it happened."
