3.A.3 Don't Make Assumptions

[Locked from all BSG muses]

It's not love.

I don't know what this is, this strange connection that we have, but it's not love. I love Karl. I love my daughter, and I am not going to frak that up simply because Lee Adama – excuse me, President Lee Adama – somehow turned my entire world upside down and then walked right out of it.

I had assumed he was going to stay, I guess. Which was wrong, naturally, since at every moment I'd done my best to push him back to Dee or back to Kara. Anything to get him the frak away from me. So he left, and I should have been happy, right? I finally managed to push the great Apollo away, out of military life into one where I wouldn't see him. I could go back to my husband and daughter and forget that any of this had ever happened and that right there was another assumption.

I can't. I can't go back. I look into Karl's eyes and it hurts me to know what he has given up for me and how I've betrayed him while at the same time, I need Lee. I miss Lee. I'd hoped he missed me, too, so it was a huge relief when he told me that he did, but still…

It's wrong.

And God help me, I still want what is wrong all while I won't give up my perfect life. Is that selfish of me? Naturally, but at the moment, I don't give a frak.

I want it all.
