[At first, Elizabeth wants to immediately reassure Gai that there isn't even a question as to whether or not she might or might not like to know. But then she remembers that there are things that happened to her, moments where her hand was forced or where her resolve wavered, that would anger or hurt Gai too. Something she would protect him from before deciding to talk about it. He was doing the same for her.]

The only thing I want is for you to never hesitate to tell me something. [She slides her free hand between Gai's cheek and his pillow.] I would bear any secret, any painful memory, any worry for you.

If you told me something that hurt... what matters is that we're happy now. I'm not going to lose sight of that. Living in the present is, sometimes, the only thing that keeps me smiling. If I get caught up in the past-- [Elizabeth nuzzles up into the warmth of Gai's neck.] --I would miss this moment. [She inhales his scent and puts a kiss on him.] And this one.
