So how do you want to start this?
Are you serious?
It's a clean slate, so we need to start from the beginning
Maybe we should say what we think
Without holding anything back?
Yeah
Okay, well El is a really pretty name
It's my middle name
I am finding it hard to believe that you don't have friends
Why?
I can't seem to stop thinking about you
Paladin, can I be honest?
Always
This scares me
What about it?
It just feels so real, you know. I feel like I know you and like I have known you for all of my life. I find it so easy to talk to you about anything
Why does it scare you, El?
Because once you meet me, you might decide that you don't want to talk to me anymore and I don't think I'm ready for this to end
It doesn't have to
Paladin...
I'm not going to lie and say that I don't want to meet you, because I really do. Like, really bad. But if you aren't ready for that then I am not going to push you
I'm going to say something without holding back
Okay
I can't stop thinking about you either
Sometimes Jane wondered what was holding her back from meeting him, so that they could see if whatever was brewing between them could go any further. She had daydreamed so many times about what he would have looked like, one day she would imagine him with curly chestnut hair like hers and a toothy grin, and the next day she would imagine him with dark hair and red cheeks. It would change every day and part of her became more and more desperate to find out what he really looked like. If she met him, she would swallow down her nerves and take his hand in hers, stroking her thumb over the pale or golden skin. She would trace constellations over whatever freckles or moles he had on his skin, making sure that she would cherish every part of him like he was a piece of art work.
I think a lot about what you look like
You do?
Yeah
I thought you didn't want to know who I am
Not yet, but can you give me a hint?
Freckles
Huh?
I have freckles
On your cheeks? Forehead? Nose?
Everywhere
Cute
I imagine you with curly hair, do you have curly hair?
I do
What color?
I'm not telling you that yet
El...
I'm short
Cute
I might want to hold your hand if we meet
Well, I definitely want to hold yours
