[Caitlyn doesn't think Vi would intentionally hurt her physically, but she hadn't thought she would hurt Vi physically, either. Until she did. And it was something she would regret for the rest of her live. Still, harsh words have been shared even just now, so she's just being gentle. Taking her time coming into Vi's space. Giving her a chance to back away, if that's what she wants and needs right now.

Instead, she feels Vi's hands on her face, and she closes her eye, leaning into Vi's touch. A tear escapes, as Vi talks so highly of her, when deep down, she still doesn't think she deserves any of it.]

This is why I can't imagine life without you. You're the other half of my heart, Violet. The other half of my soul that I didn't know I was missing.

[The piece that made everything make sense with the world. She truly hadn't been seeking out love or affection when she stumbled across her fellow misfit, but when she did, it was like something clicked in her world. If there truly was a world out there where it's Caitlyn didn't have a Vi to meet, she could solemnly state that Caitlyn would never feel complete. Ever.

Only because Vi asks does Caitlyn move to the couch, wrapping her arms tightly around the love of her life and pulling her close, resting Vi's head on her shoulder.]

I'm sorry I kept this from you. I'm sorry you had to find out this way.
