All Barry wanted to do was show you his love for you, show you he cared, show you he respected you. It was difficult, yes, but he was going to try like his life depended on it, until you believed it.

Believed you could be loved.

After everything that had happened, you weren't sure you could ever open up to someone again. You appreciated his efforts, but you were worried he would give up, think you too difficult. Think you weren't worth it.

But when you glanced over at him, from where he sat beside you on the couch, and he reached a hand out for you, you wondered maybe this was right.
