"You have affection." As Airy spoke she wrapped her arms around Matthew's waist, pulling herself tightly against him. "Cassidy and I love you. It might be different from anything normal and it's something else that's riddled with complications and will probably explode at some point in the future but we do. I know he does too."

It was different and weird. Airy wouldn't have believed that she'd get herself in this situation a year ago but here she was.

"I understand what you're like. That you like being a fleeting memory but Cassi and I won't get old and die like others do. The worlds might separate us but we'll always find a way to see each other again." She looked up at Matt as she continued. "Let us love you. For who you are. Even if you ruin things. We'll love that too."

Her heart ached when she thought of Matthew feeling like he had to be alone.

"And you can still be everyone's sexy bad life choice."
