sitting on the edge of the bed, fiddling with her hands There's something... I need to tell you.
What is it? You know you can tell me anything.
takes a deep breath and looks into MoonbeamGlider's eyes I... I've been hurt before. Really hurt.
averts her gaze, voice trembling It was someone I trusted... someone close to me. They... they betrayed me.
no one is close to you like I am. they will pay if they hurt you.
puts a hand on MoonbeamGlider's arm No, it's okay. It was in the past. I just need you to understand that it made me... wary.
leans closer to MoonbeamGlider, resting her head on their shoulder It's just... sometimes I have trouble trusting people.
But baby I’m here for you, we’ve been through hell and back together
snuggles closer to MoonbeamGlider, burying her face in their chest Thank you... thank you for being there for me.
I love you, no matter what happens we’ll be ok,
looks up at MoonbeamGlider with teary eyes I love you too. And I'm so grateful to have you by my side.
Ok what do you wanna do now?
sits up straight, determination in her eyes How about we go for a walk in the woods?
stands up and grabs a jacket Let's go then. I want to show you something special.
puts on the jacket and walks towards the door Just give me a moment, I'll be right back.
returns with a backpack filled with snacks and blankets I thought we could have a little picnic by the lake.
that sounds so lovely, thank you baby
smiles and starts walking towards the woods, glancing back at MoonbeamGlider Come on, let's go before the sun starts setting.
pauses and looks at MoonbeamGlider, biting her lip There's something else I need to tell you. It's something I've never told anyone before...
takes a deep breath I... I have nightmares. Terrible ones. And sometimes... I wake up screaming.
Shh shh it’s ok i’m here you’re safe
tears well up in her eyes, she takes a step closer to MoonbeamGlider Can... can you hold me? Just for a little while?
