"You’re beautiful, you know," I say, and I can’t believe those words came out of my mouth. It’s not something I’ve ever said to anyone before, but with Scarlet, I’m doing shit I never thought I’d do. She has this way of getting in, pulling my dark shit to the surface, and somehow making it okay. It’s like with her, I don’t need to hide who I am. And that shit fucking terrifies me.
