"Hey. Te amo mucho, okay?" He lets out a little sound, to relieve some of the tension in his chest. He had no idea that he was so afraid of losing her until it became a real risk.

"We can start over, if you want."

Did she want that? To start over like everything was new? Not really. Despite the lies and the arrangement she'd been kept out of, they'd built something, something that was true at it's core and she didn't want to ignore that. Even if it meant keeping the bad.

"No. I don't want that. Just... no more lies."

"No more lies. I promise, on my heart." It's his turn to kiss her again, parting his lips almost immediately. He doesn't know where they go from this point but they can figure it out together, right?

It's easy to fall into the kiss, familiar and comforting and it feels a little lot like home. There's things they'll have to work out and the shit with her parents is far from over, but they're together and they can fix it.

Ruby always got what she wanted.

"I love the ring. Thank you."

"I bought it...six months ago. I know, I should've given it to you sooner, but..." But with all this drama he knew was going to shake out, he wasn't sure. Too afraid, maybe, that he didn't really deserve her.

Well. Ruby always got what she wanted and she wanted him. He wasn't going to argue with her about it.

"Today is perfect." She lets out a sharp laugh and shakes her head. "No it isn't. Today is awful. My parents are horrible people and my life has just fallen apart and I have not idea what I'm going to do tomorrow. But it... The ring is perfect."

She leans her head against Cassian's chest and lets out a soft sigh. "You know what I'd love right now? A bath and a massage."
