If someone had told her five years ago -- even ten years ago -- that she would care so much about Pansy Parkinson, well, Hayley might have laughed at them. The girl had swiftly rejected her as easily as everyone else had, after she was bitten, and there were losses that hurt far more than Pansy's ever did. But now, as she reaches out to take Pansy's hand in hers, the skin soft beneath her fingertips, she realizes that she doesn't even know where she would be without the other girl anymore.
"I just ..." Thumbing over the smooth curve of Pansy's palm, she then fixes the grip until she's holding her hand, fingers interwined. "I'm so glad I have you now. You weren't exactly a loss to me, back then, but -- you'd probably be one of the worst I could have now. So." She tightens her hold. "Don't you go skipping out on me."
