all of her life , moments she has been too much. the voice of her mother plays like a tape recorder , over and over again. the need for perfection , unreachable. she knows that it had been an attempt for henry to push her away , to keep her safe. but she hadn't let him , refused to give him the chance. no matter what , chrissy had made her mind to stay.
his words bring a sense of relief that erase the ache in her chest. she lets go of the breath that's been held onto , gaze finally raising to find him. ❛ i know that , silly. ❜ words that speak the opposite , because for one moment she had believed him. that he could have , that it was finally the moment she was waiting for. love she didn't deserve , always afraid she would lose it.
chrissy stands on tiptoes , kiss placed on his cheek. ❛ you can't get rid of me that easy. ❜ it's said so lightheartedly , given with a laugh. but the words are true , an unspoken promise that she isn't leaving. ❛ are you just gonna keep standing there , or actually kiss me now? ❜
