Yes, I know you do. I am endeavouring to be as transparent as possible. And I am trying to reassure you, although you do not need such a thing, because I worry.
If not for Saltburnt, it wouldn't have been enough.
You're wrong. I do need it. Not because I don't trust you, it's just hard to feel secure in anything. After all that's happened the last few months. I was dead, and then I was insane, and then I was Teo. I need the stability.
But you are here. Together. I don't think you understand how beautiful that seems to others.
Tim Laughlin, I had never loved at all until I met you. You will forever be the one my heart turns to, even when I am old(er) and grey. I will be a rock if you need me to be.
Yes. Our times have not prepared us for such public intimacies.
It's a second chance. Which is beautiful, I know. I'm grateful for it.
And for you, too. I'll come see you later. You'll have to be gentle with me though, the bruises are still pretty dark.
It took four months before we could hold hands in public, much less sex parties and recorded evidence. I understand. I ran from that tent because I was feeling overwhelmed by the same thing.
I like it. It reminds me who I am. Teo would have never let you do that.
There was a time I thought it was Hell, when the murders started. But there's too much good for that. I wouldn't have met you, or found hope of real change back home, if it were. I don't know what to believe anymore.

Oh, Tim. I am being so selfish, forgive me.

You're not. But we're in the same boat.

This place is so cruel to you, my darling.

no subject
Date: 2025-07-09 01:33 pm (UTC)I think that has to be the case everywhere. This place just tests us more than most.

Date: 2025-07-09 03:30 pm (UTC)Precisely. And so I believe we will be alright.

Date: 2025-07-09 03:40 pm (UTC)I know we will. One way or another, we'll survive.

Date: 2025-07-09 04:10 pm (UTC)Recover from what?

Date: 2025-07-09 04:16 pm (UTC)It's been an awfully difficult few months for you, my darling.
no subject
Date: 2025-07-09 04:26 pm (UTC)I'm trying not to think about it. Wondering what's about to happen to me is making me anxious.
