Strength

Title: Strength
Rating: PG.
Summary: Yvonne does care about Olivia, in her own twisted and self-involved way.
Date: June 27th, 1999
Notes: none


Yvonne sits on a hotel bed, watching a sleeping Olivia, and wonders what to do now that she's won.

Hugh won't find them. She's made sure of that. Maybe now he'll get it, though she doubts it. He'll be as he always was, obsessed with the girl bundled under her blankets as if she can make it all go away if she just hides enough.

There's a flash of pity, unaccustomed. Olivia's weak. She doesn't understand that she needs to be strong, to survive this world and all it does.

Maybe Yvonne can teach her that.

She doubts it, though.
