[quote=@Etcetera] *Grits my teeth together and smashes my thumbs into your eyes* [/quote] *Lets you press against them for a moment as I speak, even though as you apply force it feels truly like I am more and more immutable* I believe in someone else’s conviction. A belief that[i] you[/i] are worthy. *Grabs your other wrist, forces your arms to the side and lets your fall forward into a hug from me* And if she believes it, so do I.
