[good advice so far, she has to admit. her response comes after a while, because communicating like this and putting in a modicum of work to cover her tracks is a frankly absurd amount of effort for her. high tech dictation isn't perfect.]
We share a bed most nights. Or just stay up and talk on the couch. Hold each other, maybe watch something. Fall asleep that way. Less nightmares. And we sleep easier. It's calm. Nice. We were less [shit, what's the word. physical isn't right.] intimate. Before. Less affectionate. Less free time together. Close, but not as... intense?
Something's changed. I've had crushes. I think? And people have been interested in me. Before this. But this doesn't feel like that. And the way she looks at me isn't like that, either. If I'm reading her right. Seems like more? But not sure. Might just be coping. For both of us.
