[Ruby wasn't surprised that Ange understood what she was going through. Ange had had done so much back in her own home to protect and learn the truth of her families memories. It took a special kind of love to show that much dedication to a cause. So of course she knew what it was like to carry that kind of burden whether it was for others or not. Ruby respected that about her so much.]

I- I couldn't let Mabel or Oscar carry something like that. It wouldn't have been right.

[She sucks in a little breath at the gentle touch on her cheek. She kind of misses that she can't feel the warmth of Ange's hand anymore but she remembers it vividly, so it's like she still can. She presses in slightly to let both her arms wrap around Ange's waist.]

Yeah... I think it's starting to chip away at people a little bit each month- I wouldn't be surprised if it just kept getting worse.

[She leaned in to let her forehead press against her girlfriends.]

...But I'm really glad I've got some so special to look out for me.

That we've got each other to watch our backs.

So yeah. Thanks for this, Ange.
