Sarah releases a breath she didn't realize she'd been holding when he gathers her up in his arms, hugging her back. Something unlocks in her chest, and it's as though something pierced through the bubble that had been caught in between them, allowing all of the air back in. It feels right again, despite the tentative ground they find themselves standing on. Her arms wrap further around him, as she places a soft kiss to his neck.

Her laughter is choked and tearful in response to his question, but it's genuine.

"Maybe I'm just that predictable." It's meant to be a joke, but she isn't very good at jokes right now. It's the first time in a long time she isn't missing Jeremy. It's the first time she starts to feel that distance slowly dwindle away, so she holds on tighter.

"I know how it's felt lately," she whispers. She knows, because she knows him, too. "But you know you're not alone, right? You have to know that."
