The tenderness between the two women is genuine. She doesn’t want to see Cassie hurt because of a relationship that can’t possibly go anywhere. Her motivation isn’t just about self-preservation. While Erin has moments of insensitive behavior, she’s immediately contrite and hurries to make amends to Cassie.

Is being honest about the love between them worth the possibility of losing everyone who’s important to them, or should they end things and live with the heartache?
