Word Count: 7.9kHAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY @shelbygoodkind!! I love you so much BINCH! Title from Taylor Swift’s “epiphany”.Preview: “Beca?” Chloe asks again when Beca continues staring blankly at her. “Do you need to sit down? Let me help you.”“I can’t do this,” Beca interrupts, not wanting to see whatever indecipherable emotions linger in Chloe’s eyes. “I…just can’t. Please don’t,” she all but begs.Chloe’s brow furrows. “Beca, come on.”“No.” Beca wraps her arms around herself, shivering inadvertently. Immediately Chloe lifts the cardigan and attempts to drape it over her shoulders. As if on instinct, Beca shrugs it away, swallowing an apology when she sees the immediate hurt in Chloe’s eyes. “Please,” she whispers.Chloe shifts her stance, but she does not move away. She waits patiently for Beca to regain her bearings and her words. When Beca says nothing again and the world continues spinning around them, Chloe moves once more, this time finally draping her cardigan around Beca’s shoulders and wrapping her in warmth for the first time in a long time.Read on AO3https://archiveofourown.org/works/28849887 -- source link
