"I know, right? If I could travel back in time, then and there would be one of the places I'd visit. I even have the right figure for flapper dresses." And at the rest, Lexi nodded with a twist to the lips. "No kidding. We're great as a fetish, but for ourselves? Actually being in love and being together? It's like they pull up a 404 page not found online."
And Lexi would have agreed. Her friends back home didn't understand her, her mom didn't understand her, her father...the less said about him, the better. But here she has people who love her for her and Luz, who is in love with her for her. She really had expected that she'd have to wait for college for a love like this and she was entirely happy she was wrong.
"Real life outside woods, the worst I have to worry about is the occasional pissed off racoon. This is...really not that," Lexi said and took Luz's hand. "I know you will. I trust you."
And Lexi was trying to not look as frantically worried as she was. She figured she wasn't doing a very good job of it, though. "Yeah. Yeah, I can. Let's get the fuck outta here."
