The look on Cait's face is enough to let Vi know that she's screwing this up. It settles all the bad kinds of nerves heavy in her abdomen. She stops herself from trying to sit up and shift away.

"This is..." Vi reaches a hand out and places it on Cait's cheek, a familiar and comforting gesture. "Believe it or not, this is all very new to me." She clears her throat and adds more confidence to her voice. "Not sex, I've had sex before, I mean..." And her voice softens again, a sort of embarrassment tinging her words. "A relationship." She looks up at Cait, hoping she doesn't have to explain more.
