@drxnistic +, I can’t let you do this. I’m sorry, darling, but... you can’t carry this on your own. No one is this strong. Everyone has weaknesses.”

“I know you like keeping things bottled up, but.. it makes me nervous. We’re together, now. I’m here for you. I’m here to share your burden with you — you don’t need to carry any of this on your own. I’m your net.”

As they sat in the blanket, curled in close to each other, Kate couldn’t help but marvel at how perfect this moment was. She didn’t want tor ruin it, but it was time to talk about this now. No more putting it off.

As soon as they slowed their steps, Kate would talk to Brooke in a sweet, low voice. She didn’t want to worry her.

For now, she was nodding, starting to walk with her, out of the car, and into the forest-like area. She didn’t think she’d been here before. She’d remember a place this pretty, for sure.

@drxnistic + then. Kate constantly wanted to know how Brooke was doing.

But she responded before Brooke could — she knew the girl always insisted on knowing about •her• day first.

“I’ve had a very nice day. Calm classes.. it was really sunny out, so I went out for a bit.”

@drxnistic Kate didn’t exactly know why they were speeding — a few weeks ago this might’ve made her much more nervous than right now. But she was getting more and more used to it — she didn’t feel the need to ask why.

She allowed herself to be led into the car, sitting on the co-pilot’s seat, of course. She simply looked out the window as they started driving away, always a little antsy to be seen.

Kate wouldn’t text Brooke back, because by the time she received it, she was outside, waiting at the parking lot. She looked up at her car with a bright smile, and immediately rushed over to her.

“Brooke, hey!”

@drxnistic Ever since Brooke told her about their spontaneous date, she’d been buzzing with excitement. She had been more than happy to dress up.
