❛ In here . ❜ Her voice is soft , shaky -- not quite like herself . Eden is curled up on the floor when she hears the door creak open . Her arms are wrapped around her knees as she lays there , teary - eyed and trembling . Usually , she had tried keeping episodes like this to herself , but ever since the day Chuck first found out what had happened to her during her time undercover , he had been nothing but supportive . He had become a backbone for her -- her rock . Once she hears soft footsteps pad towards her , watery hues glance up . She’s crawling into his lap as soon as he lowers himself onto the floor next to her , fingers tightly clutching to the fabric of his shirt .
Nights of flashing , horrid memories she had once spent alone were now full of warmth -- a presence that she thoroughly trusted . And though she was silent for several moments , quietly weeping into his chest , Eden knows she is safe .. secure . It doesn’t really have to be said what her breakdown was about --- they both knew --- but the words that emerge from trembling lips are soft whispers , almost like a mantra . ❛ I love you . I love you . I love you . ❜
