"You're amazing, Gracie," Steve said, his heart thumping in his chest. Somehow he'd either forgotten how much he needed Gracie, or he'd just been too worried about burdening her, but now that they were together again, he couldn't imagine being apart.
"I promise, if I need you to change anything or I need help, I'll tell you, Okay? Most of the time I'm fine, it's just that sometimes a word, or a picture... or just my silly brain, will set off this chain reaction where I can't deal with anything."
Steve had told Gracie he would tell her everything, but he couldn't yet. He couldn't drop all of the pain and loss and terror into her lap, not on the first day they were back together.
