Dina wasn't listening to Ellie the way she should be. Right now, she was so tuned in to her own hurt and pain that she couldn't see past that. She wanted to listen, she wanted to be open to hearing whatever the love of her life had to say. She really did. It was hard though. It was hard for her to stop drowning in her own selfish heartbreak. It had been months now. Months that Dina had spent crying and hurting and so fucking lost without Ellie. Months she'd been worrying herself sick wondering whether or not Ellie was even alive or if Abby had killed her. If they'd killed each other.
She wanted to be mad. She wanted to punch Ellie in the fucking face for breaking her promise. For breaking her heart. But, she couldn't. She was mad, she was hurt, but she was so damn happy to see the other girl that every single emotion she could be feeling in this moment, she was definitely feeling. It was hard. It was hard to even think right now. And maybe that's what she needed. Maybe she just needed to not think.
Dina's brown eyes were swimming in tears and soon those tears slipped past the seal of her eyelids and started trailing down her cheeks. All the heartache and pain she'd felt for the last few months was like a dam breaking. And it was leaving a flood all over her face.
"I know, babe." Dina said, softly, voice cracking under the weight of the emotion she felt. "You are so fucking stupid, Ellie Williams." She shook her head and rolled her watery eyes. "You know damn well I can't be mad at you for long. Even though I really, really want to. Even though we have a lot of shit to work through." She sniffed and let out a shaky breath. "But I love you. I love you so damn much. I've been so worried, I didn't know if you were alive or if you were dead or..."
They still had things to work out and Dina wasn't ready to fully forgive her, but right now, she just needed to fully appreciate the fact that Ellie was here. She was here and she was alive.
"I missed you. We both missed you. You are such an asshole, but you're my asshole and you always have a place in my life. You know that."
