Got no plans and I've got no money

"Koa..." she whispered, leaning into his touch like a flower drawn to sunlight. His words were everything she wanted to hear - but then why did he seem so sad? Did he regret their budding friendship - the more that he hinted at but seemed reluctant to embrace? She couldn't blame him, really, not after everything; but she longed to wipe those memories away, to start anew.
As his hand fell, she lifted hers to catch it, twining her fingers with his, if he'd let her. She offered a crooked little half-smile, her thumb brushing across the back of his hand. "Don't you know what you do to me?" she asked, silver gaze searching copper. "That I've never stopped thinking about you?" She swallowed hard; this was important to get out, to share - to give him all the information, so that he could decide what to do with it. Surely he deserved that, at least. "That all this time, not choosing you has been my biggest regret?" Bigger, perhaps, than losing Stormbreak, because that, at least, had been largely out of her control.
"Koa, I - you - we -" Gods, but why was it so hard to get her thoughts straight? She felt like she was spinning out of control, out on a tightrope with no net below to catch her as she fell. Or maybe she was jumping, taking a leap without knowing where it led. She wasn't sure which was worse. "I've lived life without you, and I can't - I don't want to do that. I don't want to lose you. I thought - I thought you wanted to be friends, and I thought, if that was the way to keep you in my life, I could do it. And I would, still, if that was what you wanted. But - gods, it's probably selfish of me, but - if there was any chance of anything more again - if you could give me a second chance -" Was her mouth always this dry? Did her heart always stutter like this?
She huffed out a breath. "I told you before - 'if you want me with you, in whatever capacity… I’m here.' But don't push me away, Koa. Please."
