I find it oddly adorable when Cass pouts like that. Maybe because she does it so rarely and somehow it doesn't seem as petulant as it would on others. The fact that I find anything adorable is a testament to how far I've come since arriving here.

I keep kissing her, not minding as she shifts us around on the bed. I can feel her beneath me and even despite all the hard muscle of her body, she feels so incredibly small. Sometimes I forget that she's just a person.

"You like it when I tickle you."
