rosalie was exhausted. her body refused to stop aching, her mind refused to overthink every single moment of her life. she coudnât go to sleep without checking the locks a million times and gripping a knife under her pillow as she got terrible, interrupted sleep. the only good thing in all of it was her, the girl by her side in all the moments she wasnât alone. she feared being too needy with her, scared she would disappear into thin air if she held on too hard. theyâd almost been taken away from each other, but although theyâd won it didnât feel much like success. their friends were still dead. sometimes it felt insensitive to smile, to enjoy what she did have, but she knew that wasnât a way to live. she wanted to heal, so that was why, as she cuddled into her side on the couch and tilted her head to look at her, she made a decision to try. at least for a night. âi think we should go do something.â she suggested weakly, clearing her throat and then lifting her head to give a cautious smile. âdonât you think it would be nice to, i donât know... act like a real couple again?â
