His large hands enveloped mine, inspecting my injured finger with surprising gentleness. Victor's touch ignited both irritation and an inexplicable warmth within me as he rubbed the sore spot with a tenderness that caught me off guard. "You just can't help it."

**Meet Me** This felt good-the warmth that spread across my lips. I never knew how much I missed this sensation. The softness of Garnet's lips and the roughness of her slightly larger hands. The rush that came with the kiss and the electricity that spread from my lips to my toes made my heart burst with excitement. This was more than I needed. I am entirely grateful for you, Garnet. When Pearl and Garnet take a leap of faith, things get twisted along the way. What will happen to both of the gems? Will they crack and crumble to the ground, or will Pearl and Garnet overcome the obstacles and opinions that come their way? --- *Author's Note* This is a Pearlnet story if you didn't know. I just wanted to start off by saying, "Welcome!"

I hope you can bear with it for now. I apologize; I will be starting to edit on 6/14/2025.
