[This is the part of parenting she was so not ready for.]
we just came across some things we didn't quite agree on and they were big enough to make us wonder if we needed some time to sort them out on our own i care about cosima very much and i wouldn't choose to be anywhere but home with both of you but sometimes it's easier to figure out your own thoughts like this when you're apart
[That seems to take the metaphorical wind out of Clara, and she's silent for a couple of minutes. Then, ]
okay i'll be there first thing in the morning
i'm so sorry brianna you're far more important than some silly old monster, alright? and i'm very good at starting fights and at running off but i need to be better at making sure you know how much cosima and i love you i'm not going to leave you again, i promise
[ Brianna doesn't answer right away. She's too stunned. She has never, in her life, asked an adult for something major like this and had said adult treat her like she's the more important thing instead of some afterthought. She's suspicious and guilty and thrilled, and not sure which feeling is winning, when she finally answers Clara. ]
