“I mean, I love you. I’m pretty sure.” Rome’s mouth seems uncomfortable around the word. “You’re pretty sure,” Damien repeats. From anyone else, Damien might find that inadequate. But from Rome— “I haven’t associated love with…good things. Historically. But I realize my perspective is fucked up. And I know good things are supposed to be associated with love. I’ve seen it with my aunts and uncles and the kids. So, I think I do. Love you. Because you’re…good things.”
