What are you talking about? I've never seen you cry.

[ When she looks up and sees the tears brimming in his eyes, she reaches up, cupping his cheeks with her hands, her own lips trembling because she doesn't want to break again, not when Charlie could use someone to lean on, too. ]

This is why you're literally the best.

[ She brushes her thumb against his cheek. ]

Thank you, so much. And I'm sorry. For everything.

[defensebonds]

Every day, rain or shine. I'll keep an eye out for you.

[ She nods. ]

I know. I... I know, it's just... Back home, Charlie, no one knew I existed. No one's supposed to know I exist, or something bad could happen.

[nostalgiabomb]
