( There's a breathless moment where she feels all too light, where the reality of the words just said settle in and her heart seems to stop in her chest, everything still around her. It's easy enough to pull her in as those three words - still a physical thing in her throat - echo in her ears, foreign and distant sounding all at once.
And yet, they feel right. Some far off part of her heart and mind burning bright until it pushes away all the usual fear and doubt, the preferences towards caution when it comes to such things, out and away, like light piercing the shadows.
It takes a moment - and a long one at that - but her arms wrap around him, hands splayed against shoulder blades, and Kate rests her head against his shoulder without another word. It feels right to say that. Feels right to get words out that she'd so often keep bottled up until the last possible moment, or until it was too late. )
