[Although she can't feel his skin, she likes the warmth and feel of his hand against her own. Although unsurprising, it's a gentle and quiet strength. It feels safe.]
[And yet, at the same time, she feels like they're toeing a dangerous line. Daneca doesn't feel much of anything for Sam anymore, she knows that deep down. Whatever they had died when he get angry at her for not telling him she was a worker. She's forgiven him for getting so angry and turning her away, only wanting her when she began to try and move on, but there was nothing either of them could do to undo the damage that was done. The most they could hope for is friendship.]
[And maybe that's the most she should allow herself to hope for with Scott. But it's hard. It's so hard to remember that when he looks at her the way he does. It's been a year for him. A year that, no doubt, he spent with his girlfriend or maybe someone else or maybe no one at all. Either way a year, to completely forget her or to set her aside and he hasn't done any of that. He's here holding her hand walking with her. He's not afraid of her or what she can do even after what she did on the other Barge.]
[And all Daneca wants is to not be forgotten again. She just wants to be enough.]
[The light squeeze to her hand brings her out of her thoughts and she smiles lightly up at Scott.]
