You have... Alot on your plate. I know that. There's so much about your past that I can only barely begin to know. But I don't know if you understand how long this has been a thing... Cat, i've had feelings for you ever since way back on Lillian and Katrina. Not for your characters. Not for your writing. But for you. Good and bad... I really, honestly and truly, do see ways for you to make life better for yourself. I want to help... I want to do everything in my power to do it. And honestly, I have never felt so determined for anything in my life as I have for making thigns better. For you. For me. For our friends. And it's because of you. The timing for my telling you this is... Inopportune. Confusing, probably. But this has been welling up inside of me for years. I didn't tell you. I never told anyone. I was so terrified that I wasn't good enough. So terrified that if I tried to fix you- I would break you even worse because god knows I can't to anything else right. But... I've had enough of that.

But when we did. When you smiled. When you laughed about my stupid jokes. God, there was a reason I kept rolling away from you that night we were drinking. I didn't trust myself not to say something right there. Your past is irrelevant. What's happened to you should serve as a lesson to you, yes... It certainly should. But you proved that you can smile despite that. And I know it's corny as hell, but I think you could be that way more often if you just lived. I loved seeing that. I loved being there for you- and I loved you being there for me. I just
I'm smitten. And the good thing about that is
You don't have to feel obligated to reciprocate. I'm an expert at dealing.
But... I knew what I was getting into. I don't feel lightly. I have every reason not to- but you're... Honestly, my feelings for you are more unrestricted than almost anything i've felt before. I'm wholly willing to work with you.
