"Sounds like a win."
"Not to me."
Oh, God. She's smiling. At me. Because of me.
Her smile is so beautiful.

Summary
"Congratulations," I say.
She's confused, but not as confused as when she saw me walk in nor as confused as I am that they lied to me for months.
"On your PhD."
"W-what?"
“A noteworthy accomplishment, given that less than twenty-four hours ago you weren’t even working on one.”

Summary
I would do anything to keep you by my side. Be your friend, give up science, watch no film but the Twilight series for the rest of my life. Get myself a new phone so I can give you mine, because I know you wouldn’t accept it any other way. Buy you insulin and a new pod. Learn to cook so you will never be hungry again. Anything. Ask for it, and I will give it to you.

Summary
Please, I just need you to listen to me. Just once. Do it. Listen to me and believe what I'm telling you. Because that's the only truth. You're more than enough for anyone. You're good at your job, but you need to break ties. You have potential.

Summary
It is not until a few hours later with the feeling of not having slept at all, that I hear soft footsteps coming downstairs. If it was difficult for me to sleep knowing that she’s one floor away and probably the closest we will ever sleep to each other, her presence wakes me up completely.

Summary
I hesitate for a moment, wondering if telling her the truth. We are parting ways and I still haven’t found any way to warn her directly about Laurendeau. I don’t think she would take it into account but at least it could plant a seed on her head and help her see some of the red flags. Maybe not now or soon, but sometime. It may help her to react in the future.

Summary
We still have a lot of work ahead of us. From the moment she lets me take care of her I’m going to in all senses. I can’t be the only person she talks about this with. I fear that she’ll generate a dependency towards me and my social circle and start to base her self-esteem on us. She needs to talk to a professional. She needs to make new friends, to be able to do social activities and not spend all of her weekdays in a lab and weekends doing the little research she manages with her poor resources.

“Just...” she stares at my fingers, not daring to look at my face. “This. The three of us. I thought it’d be weird, but...”
It's not.
“Why do you think that is?” I ask.

Summary
My girl seems lost in her thoughts, trying to form something coherent. Although her murmurs aren't particularly clear, and given that I'm still surprised by how creative Elsie's mind can be when it comes to vampires, paranormal stories and strange words, I'm not surprised when I clearly hear the word 'peerection'. I don't think I've heard it since my early high school days and no one had ever used it seriously. It was too ridiculous.
“A what?”
“Nothing.”
