I gave it to Methos. I don't know what he's done with it, which is a good thing.

[guylining]

he's your sub, right?

[cosmicmistake]

Yeah. Permanently.

He was here before, too. We had a thing then and now we're more than a thing.

[guylining]

you love him? it sounds like you love him

[cosmicmistake]

I do. I love him.

I've loved three people in this city and two of them are here right now. Because I love you, Nate. That won't change, ever.

[guylining]

i know

i love you, hope. you don't ever have to worry about that changing

i'm glad you have him too, and that you love him and trust him. you deserve all of that. he sounds like a special guy.

[cosmicmistake]

I think you'd like him.

I KNOW he'd like you.

[guylining]

maybe we should meet. he clearly has good taste

and if you trust him, i can too

[cosmicmistake]

I do trust him.

I told him about you. How you were the one that saved me from myself. Protected me. Loved me. Were there for me when no one else was.

He knows what you mean to me.

[guylining]

hey

you saved you. i just knew you would, because you were always there. you hadn't gone anywhere. you would've done it without me

but i'm glad you didn't have to

[cosmicmistake]

You stopped me from killing anyone else. That's not something I would have done without you and we both know it.

[ the next text is harder to send because of what it reminds her of. ]

You were the only one who didn't give up on me. You made sure I had a safe place to land when I was myself again.

The point is, you were you and you helped me.

[guylining]

[ You were the only one who didn't give up. Those words send a flare of anger through him. There were others who shouldn't have given up. She had always deserved better than they gave her. ]

you were worth holding onto. you still are. it sounds like i'm not the only one who knows that now, and i'm very glad

but for what it's worth, i'll always be a safe place to land when you need it. you won't be alone so long as i have any say.

[ there's so much she wants to say. so much emotion she feels when she reads his message, but instead, she screenshots it, saves it, and waits a moment to stop that rush of feeling from overwhelming her. ]

Thank you ❤️
