Maya's POV:

-You do? - I finally gave in and turned my face around. I was happy to see that she was close enough for our noses to touch with my movement.

-Si. -She nodded, and it felt good to feel her skin against mine. - Thank you for sharing all of this with me, and I know it can be overwhelming, so I don't want to extend it, I just want you to know that I'm sorry for acting the way I did the other day, even though I didn't know your reasons.

-It's okay, I was more upset with myself than with you. - I shrugged, it was true. - You're changing a lot of things inside of me, it scares me, but I know it will do me good.

-You do me good too, Maya. - She rubbed her nose against mine, closing her eyes, and I did the same.

We were both surrendering that moment, both longing and wanting so much more than we were prepared to handle, we would have to be patient - and that was just too frustrating - but it would be worth it.

We leaned our faces towards each other at the same time, our lips touching in a chaste kiss, but one that meant so much - the beginning of a relationship based on honesty, patience and understanding - and we promised each other tolerance without exchanging a single word.

That night, after opening my heart and sharing something with Carina that I had only previously shared with my therapist and receiving so much care and understanding from that woman, I realized that there were so many more possibilities in this world than I was aware of. I realized that dialogue was really the best way out. I realized that taking things slowly didn't necessarily mean that things would be boring and uninteresting.

I also realized that I was falling in love with Carina.
