Sept 26th - Girls shower.

[Morgan Evans]

You are assuming that this is his reasoning right? That he does it for an ego boost? Morgan tilted her head curiously.

You just want him to make you feel special. You have to give him a chance.

[Rachel O'Brien]

Thanks for the advice. Rachel said, starting to towel off But really, I just need to get things back on track with us.

[Morgan Evans]

The track being?

[Rachel O'Brien]

The track where I don't show up at his room because I'm nervous and want to be held.

[Morgan Evans]

You need a hug? I can give you one. Morgan offered gently, she knew what it was like to need a moment too feel safe.

Feeling safe in someone's arms.. finding respite there with someone you care about.. that's okay. You wouldn't feel that if he didn't feel that way too.

[Rachel O'Brien]

I wish that were true. Rachel said, wrapping a towel around herself But...if you don't mind, I would like a hug.

[Morgan Evans]

Its totally true but sure. Morgan moved forward and wrapped her arms around Rachel, hugging the girl how Connor hugged herself. Like he meant it.

[Rachel O'Brien]

"Thanks" Rachel said quietly, stepping away from the hug after a good long while "I've got to go. Big mission tomorrow."

[Morgan Evans]

"Rach?" Morgan called softly, her hand reaching out to the other girl then letting it fall to her side.

"You should tell him."

[Rachel O'Brien]

"No" Rachel said, shaking her head.

[Morgan Evans]

"Well I will be here to talk too until you find that strength, okay?"

[Rachel O'Brien]

"Ok" Rachel said, smiling at the girl "Goodnight, Morgan."

[Morgan Evans]

"Night Rach." Morgan padded softly out of the bathroom and back to her room.
