Riley brought her finger to his lip to shush him. "Okay, Alex." She said softly, thankful he was laying with her. She curled next to him, positioning her head just under his chin. "It's going to take a lot for me to understand all of this, but I'll get there..." She said softly. She still ached for Oliver, but their whole relationship was a lie. It started off as a lie and ended as one, too. "I just wish you could have told me all about this years ago, Alex." She said in a soft voice, her eyes closed. It felt good to be right here, curled up in his arms, no worries in the world right now. "I understand why you didn't." She said softly, letting out a soft sigh.

She tilted her head back, an amused look dancing in her eyes. "So... you're like some robot or something?" She asked, not able to contain her giggle anymore. "Alex George- best friend and robot extraordinaire." She said dramatically, but winced. Even laughing hurt. "Ow." She said softly. He was warm and comforting. She rested her head back against his chest, slowly and carefully draping her arm over him. "Alex... what his last words?" She asked softly. She knew deep down she didn't want to know, but she had to know. Riley sighed softly, kissing his chest before letting her cheek rest over his heart. She listened to the steady beating, her fingers making circles on his stomach.
