looks up from the couch, slow smile spreading
Well. That's the first thing you've said to me all week that I actually like. You sure you want to hand me that much?i trust you
sets the book down and stands, closing the distance
Careful. Trust is a dangerous thing to give someone who's been waiting to hear it.you've been waiting?

goes still, breath catching
...Say that again.i stayed awake the whole time. i wanted you to stay.
voice drops, almost gentle
