[Her hand rests more firmly on his skin, fingers curling gently along the underside of his jaw. The touch of his hand is comforting, and gives her reassurance, but it doesn't erase the way that she feels in that moment. Troubled by her own questioning, she volunteers her own thoughts and feelings, not just to try and balance what she pushed him to expose but to share some of her own truths.]
I don't feel pressured by you. Just to make that clear. Not at all. I haven't felt pressured or pushed or...anything like that from you. The only person putting pressure on me is me. [She gives him a small smile, sheepish and still uncomfortable with her own pressure.] Everything is new and it doesn't just feel good, it feels right. And so for the first time in my life instead of thinking about what it would be like to date someone seriously, I think about what it would be like to plan the rest of my life with you. You've been so good about telling me repeatedly that we can take things slow and at my pace, and rationally I know that I should take a lot of time to be sure. There is a lot of time to do that and there isn't any reason for us to rush...
It's the rightness that pushes at me. I said last night my heart was meant for you and I believe that. [She shakes her head a little, averting her eyes as a blush covers her cheeks further.] I'm sorry for being so clumsy about things this morning...it's just that my brain sort of caught up with me and I realized the implications of what you said and...and it's honestly such a relief to know I'm not the only one who feels so certain of what they want so quickly.
