Her face produced an uncontrollable frown as Noah began to struggle in front of her. She knew, Odette knew this would be difficult, and half of her expected Noah to become angry with her for bringing up such a painful experience, but--- this was important. They had never been good at sharing their feelings, being overly emotional or even understanding each other sometimes, but she had always thought that deep down, the things that mattered were clear between them. So this-- it made her feel sad and scared, and ignorant.
So ignorant.
"I'm sorry," Odette blurted as her thoughts turned more and more to Noah. She bit her lip again, unsure of how to tactfully put to rest the only burning question left in her mind. He could become offended, and upset. He would think she knew nothing about him or didn't care to. But she had to ask, had to know. She took his discomfort as a sign, and figured quickly she would need to latch onto him for either of them to continue.
Unable to keep herself from his touch anymore, Odette swiftly nestled herself into his chest, wrapping her arms around Noah for a tight hug. Burying her face into the side of his neck, she took a few moments before speaking again.
"I love you," she prefaced, only turning her head slightly so he could hear. Odette took another breath, breathing heavily before continuing. "I just--- need to know that you don't--- still feel like that now" Odette spoke in such a small voice, it was almost unrecognizable. She just felt so tiny, so stupid for having no idea about this, it was like her body was shrinking where she stood. Noah had become so important to her that experiencing another episode like the one in August was simply something she knew she could endure. And she just---- he needed to know that.
