As Maria wrapped her arms around her and told her to stay, Blair embraced her and rubbed her back. "Stay, please," Maria continued, and Blair wished that she could have seen Maria's face again to console her and let her know that she wasn't going to go anywhere. "I'm not in control," admitted Maria. "I'm terrified. But you… You bring me back down to reality."
Blair didn't know if she deserved that level of praise. She felt the need to apologize, too, and muttered, "I-I know I'm sh*tty at this," as she continued to soothe Maria, though it was perhaps the softest that they had been with one another. "I'm gonna stay right here," she promised her, not used to being so gentle with Maria—or anyone—but not minding it, either. "We'll work things out," she continued. Whatever that took, she didn't mind. Maria meant too much to her not to be there for her. She was scared, too; it wasn't anything she had dealt with before, but there was something about Maria that made her want to step up. "I don't know what that's gonna look like, but I… I love you too much to let you do this alone." That was too strong a word, wasn't it? "Love"? But what else could she call it when she wanted to protect Maria? It was more than just liking her.
