"Hey, youre beautiful, you know." Vi whips around in the street, dirt and gravel kicked up from her shoes.
"Who are you talking to?"
"You, dummy." Vis face turns the color of her hair. She hides her face in her hoodie, walking faster. "Vi wait!" Caitlyn holds her by the elbow, rubbing her thumb on her bicep. "Sweetheart, whats wrong?"
"Ive never been called beautiful before." Vi clears her throat to cover up for the few voice cracks it cost her to get through the sentence.
"I will call you 'beautiful' for the rest of our lives. I think youre perfect."
"Dont-" Caitlyn put her finger on Vis lips.
"You have your flaws, but youre perfectly imperfect. I love you."
"I love you too." Vi nips Caitlyns finger as she pulls it away. In mock offence, Caitlyn gasps.
"How dare." With a shrug from Vi, they continue their walk.
