you're welcome for the emotional whiplash

Soh smiled, heart full. She knew that she had more work to do on herself before she could fully trust that she wouldn't succumb to her fears once more, but she was also beginning to trust that even if she did, it didn't spell the end for she and Zavien. Their relationship might just be starting, might still be new, but it was already stronger than any she'd ever experienced before. And whenever she began to doubt, she knew she could look back to this moment, to this promise, and remind herself to breathe through the fear.

"Mm," she hummed, pretending to think about the question. Then, nudging his nose with hers, she said, "No. I think it's limitless." At least, there wasn't a limit that she could see at present, not when it felt like every day her heart grew a little larger, a little stronger, a little better for having him in her life. She couldn't see that changing any time soon.

Keeping herself pressed close to Zavien, Soh settled more comfortably into the couch, the hand on his cheek slipping to rest on his chest, over his heart. She could feel it beating, and the rhythm lulled her as her mind wandered back to their previous conversation. "I think I do want to move closer to you," she ventured after a moment. "I want to be able to see you more. Not that I don't love traveling, but it's not the most convenient thing to live half a world away."
