[ Who you are is pretty damn amazing. Sam's words are crushingly heavy, settling on her with enough weight to shatter. But it's not her that they're breaking, but the pain that's built up around her heart and started sinking into her soul. Cracks are forming in that wall of suffering and it's such blessed relief that she can't do anything except wrap her hands in his shirt and hide her face against his shoulder.
If they weren't surrounded by their sleeping Nestmates, if she didn't have to worry about certain people noticing, she would let go and give in to the need for a good cleansing cry. As it is, she holds back, tears leaking out but none of the gasping sobs she knows wait just below the surface. Those will come later. ]
(What if he doesn't agree? Sam, what if he doesn't want this?)
[ Damon never lets himself be happy. He fights the good things in his life, sabotages everything that seems to be working in his favor. What if he decides for himself that this isn't a good idea and doesn't listen to anyone who argues against that decision? ]
