[She lets herself be seated and-- ah. Her chest tightens painfully. This... this is honestly even harder than the last announcement. Randy was supposed to be one of hers. She kind of hoped that maybe when the time came they'd be able to go together.
But she knows that kind of thinking is naive.]
...I guess I shouldn't be surprised. You're... a pretty incredible person.
[She's trying her hardest not to cry. So her face is just this awful tense mess and her eyes are watery anyway.]
It's so unfair. It doesn't feel like we had nearly enough time together. I don't regret a moment of it, but still-- there's so much more I wanted to be able to share with you.
...I tend to feel like I'm... pretty obvious about some things. But even so, I... never properly said it.
There's a lot I could say... about how important you have been to me. But the things that are dearest to me now... only happened because I was able to meet you here. I love you. And whether you feel the same way or not... you deserve to know that. You deserved to hear it... at least once. No stuttering or... me making a fool out of myself. Just... the honest truth.
...that's kind of why I wanted to stay. Sure you'll be able to visit but... I won't be able to sleep with you like this anymore. Or... things like that.

[oh
honey
leans against her, wrapping her in his arms.]
M'sorry.
Re: 341 morning
[Her voice cracks a little anyway and she buries her face in his chest and closes her eyes tight, trying to squeeze back the tears.]
...I should be happy for you. You deserve that much and so much more.
Re: 341 morning
Sweetie... it's okay to be sad. I'm sad too.
Re: 341 morning
[Puts her arms around him and squeezes him tight, voice a bit wobbly.]
But... of course I'm sad. I'm... going to miss you... so much.

[...no regrets, Serenity. You promised.]
