Trish isn't good at keeping people at a distance. Not when she cares about them. Once someone has become important to her then that's that, unless they do something absolutely unforgivable she will stick by them through just about anything. She is also not the kind of person who refuses people second chances. Sometimes even when she really should do exactly that.

"Say that you love me. Again."

Her voice is quiet, brittle. For so long she was sure that he didn't love her, or at least she was trying to convince herself that he didn't because that was the only way she could ever move on. She had to believe that he didn't care because otherwise she'd never let go.

But now she wants to hear him say it again. She wants to see it in his face.
