[ There, that's good. It's sinking in a little, she can see he's following along (mostly - he's still stuck on that parrot, isn't he? Why on earth did he give her up if he loves her so much?)
Oh, and look at that smile, doesn't that just break her heart? After all those years of horror from his family, it's a little like putting him back together, isn't it? A little like filling in the cracks and letting him be a person again.
That's one step in the right direction. Day by day, small victories, that's all it'll take. And she gets something out of this, too: that melting, fuzzed feeling beneath her ribs when he smiles, because he loves her so well. Because she's sure he'll try his best.
He might not be able to do anything for her, but she believes he would try, and that's more than anyone else ever offered.
Her smile grows, larger than his but no less fragile.]
And loved Fish. Don't forget loved, because I love you. You're my light in the dark, right?
