Sitting here in the bar surrounded by the team with Caitlin's arm around me while we laughed and talked, I realised I'd missed this more than anything else. I missed her gentle words, our late night conversations whether they were in one another's arms or not, our soft kisses. I missed it all.

"You okay?" Caitlin asks me as she looks at me as I'd been staring down at the table and just thinking.

I look up at her, our eyes connecting, and smile at her while nodding. "I'm really glad I kissed you." I say, resting my head back on her shoulder.

"I'm really glad you did too." She says back. "But just know, Els, I'm not going to hurt you this time."

"Promise?" I ask.

"Promise from the very bottom of my heart." She holds her pinky out and I wrap mine around hers.
