"You don't make me nauseous," Declan stated firmly, opening his eyes and looking quite serious until those fingers found his hair again and he sank into the bedding once more.

"Thinking about things and the coordinations makes me uneasy. There are things I imagine, due in no small part to your...aggressive approaches. I've been...distressed, ever since. Frustrated. Things I didn't know had any interest to me were suddenly highlighted. It complicated things. When I thought about them more seriously, before I came to think that you weren't interested, it troubled me. I'm having difficulty not measuring acts against one another in the weight of their impact on a person. I can't make sense of it, and I worry it may negatively effect our progress as a couple. I don't want to hold us back when we've just figured out the path forward."

Now who's overthinking?
