we might be hurting, but I'm ready for the free fall
Of course it had meant something when he'd called for her - when, despite everything, she had been the first person on his mind when he needed someone to comfort him. And of course it had meant something when she'd come, when she'd dropped everything to quickly and so easily to rush to his side. How had she not seen it before?
Their kisses were sweet and chaste, but they awoke something in Soh that she hadn't known existed, and as her eyes opened to meet Jude's shy smile with one of her own, she scooted a little closer on the bed - close enough that the back of her hand, where it intertwined with his, rested against Jude's bare chest, and she could lean her forehead against his. It was a gesture that she'd done a million times before, but somehow it now felt different. Special. Intimate.
"Don't be sorry," she whispered back. "Don't ever be sorry." She'd be content to just stay here, wrapped up in him, until the end of time if it meant they could bottle this moment to keep forever. So there she stayed, gazing into his eyes, adoration clear in hers, as she considered whether there was anything more to say or if she just wanted to kiss him again, as though now that they'd broken the barrier, they needed to make up for lost time.
