"I'm sorry, I know you're just trying to help," Ria spoke softer this time, with clarity. "I think I just need time. To think. Alone."
"Are you sure? I'm-"
"Yes. I'm sure. Alone time."
I nodded at her request, and scrambled up from my position, walking towards the door. I knew how much she valued alone time and I had every reason to respect it, but I stopped at the door at last second and turned around.
"Just... let me know if you need anything, okay? Food, dessert, a movie night, for me to kick his ass... let me know." Ria's hardened expression finally cracked into what I saw was a hint of a smile, and her head bobbed up and down as an indication of her comprehension.
"I love you, Rora," she whispered quietly, but loud enough for me to pick up on the sentence I'd last expected to hear from her. My reaction must have amused her, since her eyes finally filled with a spark of light that diminished just as fast as it ignited. "I don't want my last I love you to be directed to Colin, so I'm putting it on you."
I exhaled through my nose, and let my smile come naturally. "That's fair. I love you too."
