(she had needed time to process what had transpired between them, and then after he left her such a personal birthday gift, one that is hanging up in her room now, she had been unsure of what to say to him. intimacy isn't a language she's very fluent in. still, she had assumed one of them would end up at the other's door eventually, though under much different circumstances.
and yet once she made the decision to not go through with the list, and once she realized how far they were going to go to try to push her to do so, she knew he was the person she could trust with this.
her grip on the list loosens enough so he can take it from her.)
Thank you.
(because somehow she knows, she knows, he won't read it. if he had wanted to he could have taken it from her and read it already. but he's asking. there are so many times where he's asked things of her instead of simply taking them, and that matters.)
