[He's quiet and a little far away when he says it, but his attention snaps back to her when she keeps talking. Yeah, he knows all about the difficulties with Lust's previous relationship, as much as they'd loved each other. Everyone in the house knew. It had been kind of difficult not to, after the beach.]
[Envy had never had the kinds of problems with France that Scar and Lust had with each other. They'd almost never fought over anything, there wasn't really a struggle, save for getting used to the idea of being in a relationship at all...but...]
[Sometimes, he can't help but be glad that he doesn't have to dread the idea of Heather finding out anything about his past. He doesn't have to hide anything from her to seem like a better person than he really is for fear of being left, even if France might never have done such a thing. The fear had still been there, and they hadn't ever bridged the subject. He'd gotten a bit of an idea that France's past wasn't rosy either, but he'd never asked. Maybe they'd both been too afraid of it. But that's not a problem with Heather, he can be honest with her.]
...it's weird. Finding a person when you never thought you could at all, and then managing to find someone else.
It's okay to be happy with something different. At least, I keep telling myself that.
