[BETTER OF ME / SAM FENDER]

THERE ARE SEVEN DEADLY SINS.

they say pride is the deadliest sin from the group of seven, but Briar Byrne is sure envy will be the death of her.

Briar was the face of prosperity,  an ideal life where she lived in her large country manor with her two happily married parents and two bright eyed and rosy cheeked siblings, the perfect friends to pass her days with, top scores in all her subjects, never going without an answer.

Briar Byrne was so nuclear she was radioactive.

yet brair craved something more, she craved to leave behind perfection, she craved to experience mess, to get her freshly cleaned dress covered in thick,  sludgy mud without receiving the wrath of her mother's backhand.

maybe that's why she sabotaged James Potter's last chance at finally bagging Lily Evans for the sixth year winter solstice dance,    not because she really cared,    but because destroying someone elses chance at perfection soothed the green eyed monster for a while longer.

SO, THIS IS BRAIR'S CONFESSION.

ORPHEUS: how can you forgive me?

EURYDICE: it wasn't your fault.

ORPHEUS: whose, then?

EURYDICE: fates.
