"Easier? It's like pulling the trigger or throwing that punch. Those things don't seem good at first, but they can help. And they get easier the more you do it." Zoe would know. "Now you do some amazing things, and I love you for how much you want to help. But, there are times I'm afraid I'll lose you if you don't slow down. I don't think you're going to go whoring it up. Just think you're going to get lost in all this do gooding and forget how to be you."
She knew he smoked less around her out of respect for her, yet she'd noticed a lack of smoke as of late. She gave him a soft kiss and smiled just as softly.
"I'm not saying that what you do is like pulling a trigger or punching someone, but it can be dangerous. I love you, and I just don't want you to disappear even while you're sitting on my couch or sleeping in my bed." She gave him another kiss.
"Walk me home now please. I'd like to take advantage of you before you start back to it." She was torn. She didn't like it because she wanted him to be happy and to do go, but she wasn't ready to give him up to it either.
