"we don't have to go out, kay. if you aren't ready..." rowan trailed off, seeing her girlfriend's expression go from perplexed to amused. "what? i'm concerned!"
"and it's very endearing, row, but i'm fine. i lost my dad, not my wits and love for you. the publicity of it won't kill me. i just want a night with you."
"what if we're going to be around a lot of people?" she asked worriedly, fretting about her girlfriend. kaylani smiled, shaking her head.
"i'll be fine. are you ready for your surprise?"
"please. hey, we're starting table reads on monday, will you be okay?"
"yeah, of course! i'm excited to see how mar's story plays out after that cliffhanger."
"oh gosh, yeah," rowan replied, grabbing her purse as the two headed out of the door and to the elevator of the hotel they were staying at. last night, kay had finished wrapping the season of the walking dead, and rowan was free of work for a few days, so they decided to celebrate a year in style. new york. their favorite place to go together.
after a bit of travelling, rowan's eyes lit up. she recognized where they were. and as she realized, something clicked.
"you are not."
"actually, i am. we're going to see it because you never got to when it was popular."
"i love you, kaylani faith." rowan hugged the girl, pressing a kiss to her cheek. kaylani smiled, shaking her head fondly.
"i know. i love you too, rowan elenanor."

"i love you." kaylani's voice was soft in the early morning light, hair shining in the beginning rays of sun. rowan, too asleep to hear the murmuring of a lovestruck girl, could not pay any mind. "i don't say it often, and i know you wish i would, but you also know how badly it was thrown around when i grew up. and i still love you, row. i'm not scared to admit it. i wish i could say it to your face more, but i can't bring myself to say it. so i say it now. but i love you, rowan eleanor blanchard. and i hope you know that." then she smiled, softly, slowly, and let herself fall asleep. in the early morning light, sprawled out across the bed, girlfriend curled into her side, rowan whispered, "i love you, too."
