Imperfect is all she ever has been, but she can't tell him that. He knows nothing of her life before their shared world. If he did... Would he pity her? Would he second-guess all his words and actions in an attempt to not dredge up more pain from her past? That sort of reaction is what she's always hoped to avoid, along with the worry of burdening someone else with her lifetime of heartache.

It feels wrong for him to stand again so soon, though she knows she can't ask him to stay down at her level. It wouldn't be comfortable for him, and what reason would she give? That she finds his eyes fascinating and wants just a little more time to memorize the way they watch her before he leaves her forever?

"I've never thought that," she assures him with a shake of her head instead. "That's not who you are. Not with me, anyway." Because she knows he's different with others — she doesn't hold that against him either.
