Seth froze at Michal's words. He shouldn't have been surprised that his friend threw that in his face, but he was. It wasn't like he didn't know that was a reason. But he certainly qualified that as part of his life he wished he could redo.

He knew where Michal was going with it though. He harped on enough times that it was obvious. "I am not, nor have I ever been in love or even have feelings for Odette Boot." Seth said slowly and clearly. "That was a life crisis. A shame spiral of epic proportions. I was miserable on the Magpies and I wanted to drag down the one person who initiated my life being a living hell with me. That's not feelings, that's me being childish and petty and generally a despicable person."

It took Seth a long time to come to terms with how he acted during his time on the Magpies. To come to a reason why. He still believed it was completely two sided, but he could have walked away at any point in time. "Even if it was, what did I just say? Nothing, nothing that I thought was important then is important to me now. Except maybe Leanne, but that didn't honestly really happen until after my marriage was already over. Everything else, being captain, the magpies, Odette, the fact that my entire team hated me," he ticked each one off on his figures. "Doesn't matter. Don't care. Haven't thought about it in years."

Except maybe the captain thing, but that was completely different topic that Seth was not going to bring up. "I should have never left the United. If I hadn't, I'm almost positive that I would still be married to my wife, and who knows maybe I would be captain instead of Drystan. But I did, and you can't change the past."

Seth folded his arms across his chest bitterly. He wanted to make some scathing remark about Michal and Larkin now. How he didn't have to sleep with Odette to get over his non-existent feelings for her or something equally biting. But Michal wasn't trying to be rude, he was probably just trying to help the only way he knew how. "My marriage ended because of me and no one else. So, just drop the Odette thing. Don't bring it up again."
