And that must be really scary - I get that. I think I'd be freaked out, too. But... I also think if it was anyone else, you wouldn't blame them for the same thing. Right?
[ wow, how dare you pull that card gingham. (no it's the right card). he sighs a little and leans his head against his shoulder. ]
Yeah.
[ Because of course he wouldn't. ]
Sorry, I'm trying not to get to hung up about it, but it does feel like every time I turn around just... I'll hurt people? People I care about? That's what they tell me. I don't want to hurt you or anyone. [ A little sheepishly, ] I did know I should show you that one though, so I'm not as stuck on it as I was. Promise.

There's nothing to be sorry about, I promise. I think that's a really normal fear to have, especially after seeing something like that. And I don't want to tell you how you're feeling is wrong, just - I hope you don't beat yourself up about it, either. And I want to make sure you know I've never once been afraid you were going to hurt me.

You're welcome, I'll always show you whatever you want, but it's definitely me who should be thanking you. For watching and being there and - Not being afraid of me even when I am? You have so much faith and - [ A beat. ] sometimes I don't feel like I deserve it but I appreciate it and you.

[giving a little smile]
I'm really glad you showed me. Thank you.

I'm not. Or, I'm trying not to.
