Throws my 1500th post at you
Dusty Rose earned a soft giggle when he told Reverie that she was pretty cool. She didn't think anyone had ever called her cool before. But then he was talking about making a family — making their family bigger, and she was abruptly reminded of what they'd done. That their family might already be growing. His expression, though fleeting, did not escape her. Reverie wasn't sure what had caused it, but she had her own assumptions.

I could - I could show you what my midwife taught me, Reverie suggested softly, her voice light in spite of the dread she felt. She could only remember her own suffering; the blame in the eyes of the men who had promised to love her through it all. Sometimes I... well, I bleed. A lot. That's - that's why my first husband left me. Blossom's father.

She wasn't looking at Dusty Rose anymore when she finished. She could only study the ground, their paws, anything that meant she didn't need to see his reaction.
Watching me is like

watching a fire take your eyes from you
