"Tea sounds perfect. Let's do that. I'll come with you." Reecy hooked her fingers around Jude's and gave them a squeeze before she shifted to unfold herself from the sunlounge. She gestured for him to lead the way and re-tied the sash of her robe at her hip. It was strange to think she might need to buy maternity clothes soon. She didn't want to let herself go too far down that train of thought just yet. She still wasn't convinced her body would come through on this again. "He's not going to think that, hon. The last thing he'll expect is you coming into this with no past. On the contrary, he knows your past so you guys don't have to go through that uncomfortable part of the equation. It's already hashed out. You've got it so bad for him already. If we were anywhere else but here - and for the reason we're here - I'd say, okay, play it on the safe side. Take your time and wade in from the shallow end. But we're here because two kids we all love so much nearly died in a terrible accident. If now isn't the time to take some risks with your heart and just enjoy what's coming your way after everything, when is? And Winnie's really amazing to just enjoy, honeybunch. You know I wouldn't just say that to blow smoke up your ass. I'd be the first to try to hold you off if I thought you'd hurt him. What happened with us happened to bring us both to where we are now and because of that, none of it was meaningless. None of it was senseless either. It was just life. And life can be the most terrifying when it's the most amazing. Okay? Trust me? Believe in your own words. It's okay to be feeling scared. That doesn't stop it being right."
