[ Part of her wants to argue. How can she know who she is when she never knew who she was in the first place? She escaped her game, but she didn't escape every question that haunted her. Almost all of them were more painful than the next, all of them starting with why, why, why--
Her heart pounds under his hand, and she forces herself to stare back into his eyes. After a while, it's not too difficult. This close up, they're mesmerizing. They've got her on a hook, slowly dragging her in. Any arguments she had fade away into them. ]
Thank you...
[ She reaches up and places her hand on his, squeezing it over her chest. With every heartbeat, their connection grows, and the tightness she felt is replaced with yearning. Want. Because someone's validated her. Someone understands her.
Her other hand's unconsciously slid up to his cheek. It takes her an age and a half to realize her gaze had drifted down to his mouth. She bites her lower lip, finding herself fighting another wild urge. It's feeling like a losing battle.
The battle of holding in her words ends much faster. They clumsily tumble out. ]
