"I didn't want to pull you into a relationship where I still have things to figure out about myself."
Ginny buried her face in Persephone's shoulder, her voice trembling. "I—I want to be a good partner for you. A partner that someone you can be proud of…"
She felt the gentle touch of the latter as she cupped her face, lifting it so their eyes met. There was no judgment in her gaze—only patience and understanding.
Taking a shaky breath, Ginny continued, "My parents' divorce affected me more than I realised… and it has made it hard for me to fully commit to any relationship." The words felt heavy, but saying them aloud felt like peeling away a weight she had carried for too long.
