Given how hard the last propo film was, Beck felt very strongly that she wanted to watch this one in company. Specifically Emily's company. So she comes by, with a gift bag of chocolate and wine. On this occasion, she's gone back to her old style of hoodie and leggings, although in red and emblazoned with pro-Panem symbols and slogans.

She knocks on Emily's door, and when Emily answers, leans in to kiss her on the cheek, then holds out the bag. "Hey, love. How's it going?"

She wants to say it back. She wishes she could, and almost wills the words to her lips, but she feels she'd be deceitful if she did, and knows Beck deserves better. To say 'I love you', one must first know how to say the ‘I’, and Emily knew that until she discovered and felt comfortable with who that really was, she felt a fraud saying it to Beck even if it were true.

Instead she smiles, looking grateful and truly touched by the declaration. "I never thought you'd turn sappy on me."

"That makes two of us," Beck admits, with a laugh, and lets her head fall back against the cushions, her eyes dancing as she looks up at Emily. If she's honest, yeah, she wanted - wants - to hear it back, to hear that someone loves her. It's a little embarrassing how much she craves that in general, and from Emily in specific.

But, well... baby steps. Emily's not like most people Beck's known, and she's sensitive enough to know that if I love you is a strange think for her, it's twice as hard for Emily. For now, the gratitude in Emily's eyes is almost enough.

"Can I touch?" she asks quietly, after a moment, her eyes flicking down to Emily's chest, then back up to her face.
