Title: Taking the Guilt
Theme:Need

"I'm sorry," Kitty said, sitting across from Pete Wisdom, her hair tucked back into a conservative ponytail, wearing a dress suit.

Pete just smiled, the ache overwhelming him, but he didn't want to show that to her. "It's not your fault," he assured her. "You couldn't expect that to happen."

"It is my fault," she said. "I should have known better."

He touched the side of her face, shaking his head. "You can't let everything be your fault, Kitty. At some point, you have to let someone else take the blame, too."

She looked him in the eye, shaking her head carefully. "No, Pete. It's my fault for needing the both of you, when it seems I can't ever have either for long."
