Micah chuckled and closed his eyes to let the warm fuzzy feeling flow through him. “Naw… you’re in love with me. You know it as well as I do. But that’s ok, Sha… I’m in love with you, too. So it’s allllll goooood.” he said, slightly slurring the last part. “Have been for a bit now, ya know? Just didn’t wanna push you too hard.” he said with a warm smile.

He knew her in a strange way they’d never articulated and it had happened quickly. Shara had felt it that first night on the Manhattan when he showed up at her guest quarters with jars just like these ones. He was more her peer than anyone on that ship and it felt good to talk with someone who truly understood all the things she couldn’t and maybe would never say. “You knew I’d flee if ya did.”

Eyeing her jar, she pondered how much was too much but then again she doubted Micah would have encouraged this if all of it would be dangerous. He had said she’d be safe and she certainly felt that with him. Downing more, there was distinctly less moonshine and more empty jar and well, as she never treated life as anything less than precious she was in it wholly. “I always fall hard ya know. With love, I mean. It happens quick too. I think that’s why I knew marrying Reid would be a mistake. There was too much build up, too much drama. Wanted it to be something it could never be. I think I’ve only truly loved two people in my six decades. One is long dead and the other is very much alive and lovely to cozy up to.”

Micah opened his eyes and looked at her. “Well, I don’t think I’ve ever actually been in love before you. I’ve loved, sure… but in love, like this? With you? No. This is a lot different. Its just… I dunno… more. Annnnd now I sound like some hormonal teenage boy with a crush, so I’m just gonna shut up now.” and he chuckled and took a drink.

“I dunno, you’re kinds cute like this,” she teased before downing more of the moonshine. “I’m not gonna lie and ignore the fact dat Edward was always the great love of my life. But I thing the thing that keep surprising me with you is how similar I feel. And dat’s scary, Micah. I had more or less just given up on having something like that ever again and here we are!” Shara said, beaming at him.

Micah kissed her softly and said “I know I’m not ever gonna replace Edward… an’ I ain’t gonna try. What we have is separate from that. Not better or worse… different. Because what you had with him was special. And what we have is special, too… but not in the same way. So I want you to hold onta ‘ol Ed… he sounds like one hell of a guy. You keep him right here -” and he put his palm on her heart, “- an’ you just fit me in as you can. Maybe between the two of us we can fill up that heart of yours with as much love as ya want and deserve.”

Maybe it was the moonshine, maybe it was the deep conversation and confessions mixed with professions, but Shara felt giddy. And if there was ever a word that was not associated with her, it was giddy. She drank more form her jar and then set it to the side, ignoring how everything was starting to sway.”Ahh Pickle. I do love you,” she said with complete sincerity, resting a hand over his and tipping her chin up to kiss his jaw. Mmmm, yes, everything felt just about perfect right now.
