Christian let Aurora finish airing her concerns before he spoke again. “Aurora, you know I love you and you know I want you to be happy, and that’s why I’m about to say what I’m about to say: upsetting your boyfriend is a bullshit reason to throw away your dream. We would miss you, but we know you’re coming back. We can explain what’s happening to Belle and we can skype every day. She knows you love her and wouldn’t abandon her,” he shook his head and licked his lips, shifting so he was sitting right next to Aurora. “Really think about it, Rora. The people who really care about you will understand that this is the best thing for you right now and it’ll be good for Belle in the future. This is your dream. Chase it.”
Aurora sighed softly after Christian voiced his opinion, leaning against the wall as he talked. “I know it’s the most– needy, co-dependent, thing to say and I hate myself for saying it, if Wes and I are meant to last then he could deal with the four months I’d be away. How did Belle and I get so lucky to have you all in our lives,” she whispered, looking to him as he settled next to her, smiling softly, Letting her head fall on his shoulder, closing her eyes as her smiled grew. “I just want to do what’s right for Belle and you are right this is going to be good for us in a lot of ways, distance aside, and I’ll have Skype like you said, so I’ll be able to see her nearly every day, and you, and certainly Ariel,” licking her lip she let her eyes flutter open. “I still haven’t fully decided but I’m closer to absolutely certain that I’m going,” she smirked.
Chris simply leaned down and kissed the top of Aurora's head when she laid it on his shoulder. He had said all he needed to and trusted Aurora to do what was right. She had asked his opinion and he'd given it and he was content to just sit quietly with her now. He reached out and grabbed one of her hands, squeezing it momentarily before reaching for his laptop where he had laid it aside. He opened it now to the half edited video he had been working on, and turned the screen so Aurora could see it too. "Wanna see what I have so far?"
