Dex,

You don’t get to ask me that and not expect the truth.

I don’t know exactly how I am, but I can assure you that I am . . . relieved.

Not because of what you said—because you said it.

There’s something terrifying about watching someone you care about become exactly who they were always meant to be . . . without you standing beside them.

I keep telling myself to stay quiet, to be smart, to not send this.

But I don’t know how to do in-between with you.
