“I’m scared,” Tracey whispers into Violet’s neck, shuts her eyes when she feels tears gathering there.
“It’s okay,” Violet presses a kiss to her hair, hand rubbing her back soothingly. “I won’t let anything get you.”
Tracey isn’t sure Violet can stop them.
She stays with Violet that night.
They lay face to face, legs tangled together and faces so close Tracey can feel Violet’s breath on her face when she exhales.

Violet lifts a hand between them and interlaces their fingers. “I do.”

“Hey,” Violet murmurs, and Tracey lifts her eyes from their hands to Violet’s face. There’s determination in Violet’s eyes, but also something Tracey doesn’t recognise. “We’ll figure it out.”
“Promise?”
Violet brings their hands up to kiss her knuckles. “I promise.”
