"They used to say stuff, you know, before we went to Blue Ridge," Emma confessed softly. It had been the boys mostly, the ones who she had fought with on the day she met Ruby. They were always giving her shit, trying to scare her away from their surf spot. She had no doubt in her mind that Ruby would protect her but Emma really didn't want to relive her days before Blue Ridge. "We have each other Ru, and no one can mess with us. Even when we go back, I'm not gonna let anyone hurt you, okay?"

"You're adorable Ru, don't lie! You can be cute and sophisticated if you want I guess." Emma laughed, shaking her head a little. "Not even excited to go shopping??"

Emma glanced over at Ruby, catching her pout. Her breath hitched in her throat and she stopped breathing for a few moments, her body ridged. She wanted to lean forward and capture that pout. She wanted to pour all of her feelings into that one kiss, to let Ruby know exactly how she felt. She couldn't find the courage to say the words, but maybe, just maybe she could show her in another way. Emma stared at Ruby and licked her lips unconsciously.

"Ru," she said carefully. "Can you promise me something?"
