"You do have a history of being good at that," Blue says with a little smirk, and nods. "There aren't -- rules to this, you know? I want to be with you because it already felt good. Safe, you know? And -- yeah," she adds, flushing a little and grinning at herself, "maybe I want you, too, but that's too, not just. I want to figure it out with you."
