[SE] stained glass windows in my mind

Got no plans and I've got no money
Gone are the days of milk and honey

Soh wasn't sure that anyone had ever said that to her before - that maybe Koa wanted to be here, even though he couldn't be for whatever reason. She certainly hadn't thought it herself. Maybe it was a lingering doubt that he could or would look past their shared history, that there was too much baggage for them to ever even dream of having a future. Maybe she was just waiting for her hopes to crumble like ash in her mouth, because it seemed like she was cursed when it came to finding love. "No, you're right." She straightened a little in her chair. "I guess I was just waiting for things to go wrong, because timing has never been on our side before." She made a face. "But that doesn't mean I shouldn't give him the benefit of the doubt."

As for the confusing nature of the situation in which they found themselves, Soh snorted a laugh of her own. "Right, I think that's what matters. Is everyone happy? Then surely we can learn to live with a little awkwardness. I mean, Flora's my best friend, and we've managed even though we both have a history with Koa." She shrugged a shoulder. "I guess it just... doesn't feel so big and scary when you love somebody enough to make it work. Whether that's romantic or platonic, you know?"

Green eyes and a head of gold
I'll give you two dollars if you save my soul
