David smiled again and nodded his head. "I think, if this makes any sense at all, part of what scared me was that I wasn't scared..." he murmured. "Because when I get comfortable, that's when the rug gets pulled out from under me, you know?" he made an embarrassing chuckle noise and shrugged a shoulder. "Everything is different now. Because I know."
He knew. And now they could figure things out from there.
What was there really to figure out, though? Did this mean that Ellie was going to move in for good? She already had all of her things here, so there was just the matter of making that "official" by saying it. But sometimes things didn't need to be said.
There wasn't a lot that needed figuring, that David didn't already have an answer to in his head. He just needed to hear her answer.
"So... what does this mean?" he asked her with a shy little smile.
