Lavender listened to Malachi, pressing her lips together and watching his eyes closely as he spoke. She stared at him thinking about his words. It was what she wanted to hear, but was he sincere? "I need you to always believe in me and I don't ever want to go to bed angry, no matter what. Even if we have to stay up all night yelling at each other. I know you're only human, you've never been in a relationship or love before. You're learning as you go, as am I. I love you, so I have to trust you that you'll keep your word." She reached out to touch his arm, wanting so badly for him to just hold her finally. "Please, can you just hold me now?" She whispered.
