This was irrevocable and huge and life-changing. It didn't matter if they'd talked about it together for months, or practiced what they'd say (because Annie had, too.) And it didn't matter if they were in the bathroom. (Frankly, they'd had some amazing times in this bathroom. It was as good a place as any.)

"I'm ready." And already primed to burst into tears at any second, but ready.
