seeing him again had been like missing a step down the stairs, knowing you’re falling before you ever hit the ground. there’d been a rush of air from her lips, a bout of confusion - and nothing but heavy awkwardness. she didn’t know how to navigate the air between him and cam, didn’t know where she was meant to stand. staying with sonia had been safe - this felt anything but. hours later, though, when they find themselves reconciled, and any awkwardness has long since fled the air between them, she allows herself a moment of ease. the tension can finally drain from her shoulders. connor is always familiar, safe. her voice is barely even audible, like she wouldn’t really mind if he didn’t hear her. but part of her is heavy with guilt that she can’t bring herself to face, and a near silent apology is the best she can manage. ❛ . . missed you. ❜
