Julien looked up at Riley and gave him a thankful nod.
La’kia smiled softly at Dekker’s retreating form and took a seat again, gazing at Julien intently. “I understand you wanting to protect me from your stronger emotions, but you leaving abruptly on Zahara felt like abandonment. Even if it had been the right choice for you in the moment, for me it hurt more than this conversation we’re having right now.”

He nodded, pinching the bridge of his nose. “I’m sorry.” he said. He didn’t know what else to say, and it was the truth.

La’kia nodded. “I know. I’m not angry about it, really, but I need us to be in the same space for more than a minute so I can let go of whatever negative feelings I have.” She patted the space beside her on the sofa. “Come, sit with me, please?” she asked softly. Her tone was easy, like whatever stress about their situation had evaporated.

He walked over and sat down, folding his hands in front of him. It was still hard to be close to her and not to touch her. He also didn’t know what else to say, so he let her take the lead.

There was no other way to do this but what felt right in this moment. Reaching out, she rested her hand on Julien. “Take a deep breath and look at me.” Her gaze held no admonishment, no judgement, no desire and no regret. There was simply understanding and warmth.
“Everything will be okay. I’m scared and nervous about having another child under these circumstances, but I have to trust that others will see me through this all. And that we will find our way the best way we can. I want us to really be friends. I know that will take time, but you have to give us that time.”
