She shouldn't have to be here. Is it selfish of me to be glad that she is, though? I hope this place never dulls her light, but I'm so afraid that it will.
He and I have been through a lot. I don't know what I would have done without him here, his kind heart and our afternoons over coffee. I'll have to sit down and think through my feelings about him.
We dragged each other out of that underground lab and keep dragging each other out of trouble and dark places. I would love it if we didn't have to do this, but I'm grateful that we do. Another person I have to figure out my feelings about.
I don't know that Mirabel and I would have survived long if not for her and her wife taking us in. We have a home because of her, and some measure of sanity. I don't think I can ever repay her.
We met in that underground lab and I don't think I've met someone so intelligent and kind. I wish he didn't have to look after me so much, but I'm grateful he does. He and I have more in common than either of us would like, I think. So many feelings to sort out.
Sometimes I have to puzzle out what he's saying (thank goodness for all those old books I've read!) but I love listening, anyway. He's wise beyond his years, and I can understand why, his homeworld sounds terrifying!
