BETH HARMON

Beth believed him. She knew she believed him but there was still a part of her that was hurt by this, despite there being no reason to be. She loved him, and her love for him was driving her insane. She was acting in a way she had never acted before. Sure, she'd struggled some after her moms death, but this... this distrust, the need, and how she ached when he was away... it was so different. She didn't fully know how to comprehend it yet...

But the disappointment in his eyes made her shrink slightly. She should have told him what was going on, but she was embarrassed and that trumped what his thoughts may have been toward all this. When he pulled her in, she loosely draped her arms around his waist and rested her cheek against his chest. He hadn't been gone long, but she'd almost forgotton the smell and feel of him. It almost made her anxiety dissipate, "I was embarrased... By this, what's going on has been for a while... Which was why I was working so much. And I didn't want to burden you. Not when you could have... literally anyone. You're handsome, talented, and you have money. I have nothing to offer back... I just feel like a burden sometimes. Especially whenI see tabloids of you and women who would probably be a better pairing..."

She finally laid the truth out. It hurt, but at least now he knew and now he could make his choice. "I... I love you. And I'm coming to terms with that, because I'd never loved anyone before. I've never depended on anyone before. And not just physically, but emotionally. I miss you so much when you're gone. I swear my uncles yelled at me twenty times because of the glasses I've broken when thinking about you." The comment was more light hearted - enough to make her giggle a little and look up at him. "I missed you so much." She said quietly, her eyes roaming over his face.

e held her in his arms for as long as she talked. He could only understand her so much maybe this was his chance to learn from her vulnerability. He never really had a decent partner or a more stable stream of income before Beth. Now that he has everything he's wanted he wants to make sure that the person who has stuck by him is okay. The realization that unfortunately that's not the case was the most helpless he's felt in awhile.

'Should I have known? Was she showing me signs? Was I just being naive and stupid? How can I love someone yet don't know that they are suffering? I should've known .....'

When she looked at him, expressing everything she felt he put his hands on either side of her face. "I missed you too, a lot. Regardless if this whole thing didn't happen I probably would've saw you soon anyway.." he admitted first.

"Look, I've always admired how hard you work and how independent you are,but..I'm your partner, am I not? If you don't want help then I at least have two shoulders that you can pick from." Kyo told her with a worried look on his face.

"I can't read your mind even though I'd like to. You have to let me know how you're feeling honestly. If you don't then this won't ever work and I don't want anyone else. I just want you. You're my Beth and I'm not going anywhere. I love you, stupid" he chuckled before inching forward to kiss her for the first time in weeks. He was starving, craving... practically begging her to stay.
