“I… I don’t want to strike a nerve, or say the wrong thing. I’m not very good at picking the right thing to say. But I forgive you. I know you were tired. You were overworked. You had no reason to like me or to do me any favors. And you healed me anyways.”
For someone who claims to not be good at picking the right thing to say, she’s absolutely on a streak of picking the right thing to say.
I think she’s gotten better at it, honestly.
I could see her tense. Would she storm off? Lash out at me like Bitch would?
Hmm, I don’t think so. I think she might actually appreciate that Taylor acknowledges this. Especially since one of her long-standing problems has been that few others did.
Not gonna lie, I’m beginning to see this as a potential ship on the redrom (love) side rather than just blackrom (romantic hatred) like before.
She just fell silent, avoiding eye contact with me.
“I don’t think you’re a monster,” I said.
Damn, Taylor. I’m this close to just straight up revoking your right to say you’re not good at picking the right thing to say.
I think this is exactly what Amy needed to hear from someone, anyone, right now, and Taylor just backed it up with reasons that show that she’s not just saying it, she actually understands.
