i knew there was a reason i liked you

that's what they get for fucking with ellie and joel
and we really need new names or something

;)

[the joke is that linton is shorter than ellie]

yeah that's what I'll call your girlfriend
Now what about me?

heart? Why?

[She's a smart cookie. Also feeling inexplicably embarrassed.]

[oh yeah.

well, might as well be honest]

it's a term of endearment. like sweetheart.

[what of it]

[Like baby girl. There's a delay before she replies.]

kinda sappy

i'm feeling sentimental, so sue me

maybe something that doesn't make my face turn red

[oh, that's sweet, and it makes Steph smile despite everything]

don't worry, most people won't know what it means
