Justin brought up their hands, putting his free one on the other side so hers was clasped between his, resting his chin on them as he looked up at her. They’d done this before - years of hospital rooms, tears, fear. She’d beat it then, she could beat it again, they both knew it. That didn’t stop it from being scary. Or flat out frustrating, since it’d already happened and here they were again.
“You’re allowed to be scared. That’s so allowed, Megs. But you have a ton of people who’ll make sure you don’t have to do it alone.” He kept his gaze on hers, his expression sincere. “You’re the bravest and toughest person I know, Jones. I know you’ve got this.”
