"I know." It means a hell of a lot more than Veronica can say, being able to trust him like that, so certain he'll never push her anywhere she doesn't want to be. "I want to. Not - not now," she adds quickly, licking her lips, "not today. I don't know when, but... I do want to. It's just... the men who came before you - and there haven't been many - didn't necessarily... leave the best impression. It's... difficult to move past that."
It's not fair that he gets stuck with the mess that Cassidy and Duncan and the rest left behind, but she can't help that about herself. Even knowing that makes her sick, but she focuses on him, offering a wry little smile as she slides her hands up to his shoulders. If nothing else, it makes her appreciate all the more how patient he is, how good to her.
