"And we're so good at the not-easy parts," Annie agreed softly, tilting her head to press a kiss to that hand. "But this has always been really...solid. The you and me stuff."

For the record, she didn't just mean sex (though they had also always been very good at that, too, barring one minor trauma-related blip last spring.) But she had never, ever had to wonder where she stood with Diego. Even when things had been new, she'd always been pretty confident of how he felt. From, 'I think that dude I just threw into a wall is flirting with me?' all the way up to bringing up marriage eight months before actually proposing. The honesty in their relationship was kind of Annie's favorite thing about it (in a long, long list of favorite things.)
