"Yep. I did. Just you." She reached out and set her glass on the coffee table then folded her hands in her lap. The best way to do this was just to tell him. Whatever happened, happened. "I invited just you because I wanted to tell you somethin'. About stuff that happens after the last thing you remember."
It suddenly hit her that he might think it was about River so she reached out and touched his arm, careful not to leave her hand there too long. "It's not anything bad. Least I don't think it's bad, nothin' happens to River so don't worry 'bout that." Kaylee took a deep breath. "Ya know how we come from different times? Well you and me...when we was about to get attacked by Reavers, you told me that you had feelings for me. We both got hurt and after we got better, we...well we were together. Like a couple. We were together like that."
There, she'd done it. Now all she had to do was wait for his reaction and hope she didn't feel the need to pray for the earth to open up and swallow her whole.
