( the pause and her tone will tell sabrina everything, that the question hurts her a little (even though she'd first thought to) and how honest her answer is )
I didn't, no.
( one more pause because this part is slightly more difficult to admit. because she knows sabrina will ask why )
[ That's what she assumes this is about: Lilith's shame, a witch caring for a mortal, something Sabrina could never comprehend given her love for Harvey. ]
( how does she get herself into this? there's a slight pause because she doesn't really want to explain it, never wants to let anyone know that she can be vulnerable )
Just be glad for what you've known, Sabrina, and pray you don't need to learn something else.
( she also doesn't know how to put it into words without revealing so much about herself )

if part three proves me wrong i will..... eat my own hat
[ And she feels bad for never asking. ]
ill eat it if the ever mention him again
( perhaps mrs meeks had been closer or at least had encountered him in some other way then. she'd been very useful in preparing her )

... Lilith, you didn't... you know...
[ Kill Adam, too?! ]
no subject
I didn't, no.
( one more pause because this part is slightly more difficult to admit. because she knows sabrina will ask why )
The Dark Lord did.
no subject
[ Her jaw drops, so startled that the worst did happen. ]
no subject
To send a message to me.
no subject
He... [ An exasperated sound. ] He was trying to control you, wasn't he? Like when he left his mark on my soul when I kept refusing him.
no subject
( to hurt her, to control her. to ensure she knew that he was the only option in her life. not that it had worked out that way in the end )
But for as much power as he possesses the Dark Lord is also shortsighted.
BABY I'M ALIVE I SWEAR
[ It's deeply relieving to confirm the Dark Lord has flaws they can exploit.
But for now, her focus is Adam and Lilith. ]
Can we bring Adam back?
holds your face and smooches
No. With what was done--
( except she can't finish that sentence )
There is no magic for that.
no subject
At least we stop him, but... [ The people he's hurt before then... she can't fathom. ] It sounds like you cared for Adam.
no subject
( she doesn't say more, not quite able to admit to another what she'd felt. but maybe her lack of answer and what sabrina saw wioo be enough )
no subject
Lilith...
no subject
Yes, Sabrina, I did.
no subject
[ That's what she assumes this is about: Lilith's shame, a witch caring for a mortal, something Sabrina could never comprehend given her love for Harvey. ]
Adam... Harvey... they're good people.
no subject
( it's a very quick rebuff even though she doesn't have to justify it )
It's more-- complicated than that.

Just be glad for what you've known, Sabrina, and pray you don't need to learn something else.
( she also doesn't know how to put it into words without revealing so much about herself )
no subject
... I think I've learned a lot anyway. [ Pause. ] Harvey and I...
no subject
( oh how the tables have turned. and she's very glad to not be on the end of the questions anymore )
no subject
[ And his brother. ]
... are Harvey and I still friends?
no subject
( but her friends were extraordinary for mortals )
If you weren't friends would he have been there?
no subject
I'd hope so anyway.
[ BUT... back to Adam. ]
Do you have any regrets? With Adam.
no subject
I don't.
( just a lot of guilt and that's a rare thing for her )
Where is this going, Sabrina?
no subject
[ He meant something, she realizes. It doesn't take two and two to figure it out. ]
