There's a second where I consider falling backward and letting Blue collapse on top of me before remembering why we can't. I know Blue said she won't break and I believe that she won't but that doesn't mean she doesn't deserve to be handled carefully, gently. No matter the angle we look at it, her day hasn't been easy, so I let her press me to the edge of the bed and then I sit down slowly, giving her plenty of space to join me, to hold one another.
Her question makes me laugh, a light giggle that hardly sounds like me, even though I'm sure Blue has made me laugh like that before.
The question of being her girlfriend seems both weighty and obvious at the same time and I second-guess myself before nodding. "I'd like to be your girlfriend."
