    Summary

    "I'm here because I want you. You and only you."

    Rue pins her down with her stare, her eyes holding a storm so intense Maddy hears lightning and thunder. The gentleness of her fingers on her face, the sharp contrast of it, takes Maddy's breath away.

    "Sure you do," her voice shakes, too raw, too vulnerable.

    Rue wets her lips with her tongue. "You have every right to be angry with me. And I know fucked up last time, not saying it. But I want you. I want you, Maddy. I want you so fucking bad."

    Her words break at the end, like a thread of restraint snaps in half. Only then does Maddy see how hard Rue is breathing, how her other hand clenches tightly into a fist. Her fingers on her cheek are so light, barely touching her skin. Maddy leans into them, brushing her lips against rough knuckles, and Rue's breath shudders.

    "Then prove it," Maddy says.

    ~~

    Or: Rue shows up at Maddy's place after the wedding. Maddy lets her in, against her better judgment, in more ways than one.
