"My family." She replied, trying her hardest to stay calm and not break down like she did in the library just now.

Specs simply pulled her closer, gently kissing her forehead as he stroked her hair. All confusion and anger from earlier was now gone. He couldn't stay mad at Tag because she had a nightmare about her family.
"It's alright," he said gently. "I'm right here."

Tag wrapped her arms around him tightly, burying her face in his chest.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you."

"Don't worry about it," he said softly in her ear. "I was just confused, that's all."

"I just... I'm always on edge after having that dream."
Tag felt so safe and secure in his arms, like she could say anything that came to her mind and the world wouldn't implode.

"Of course you would be," said Specs with complete understanding. "It's not exactly the best thing to dream about when you're sleeping... but, uh, if you don't mind me asking... where were you when it happened?"

"At school." She replied, sighing heavily.

"You were lucky," he said, sighing. He couldn't imagine what he'd do if Tag wasn't around at all.

"I know that, but... Sometimes I can't help but think... How am I lucky? I have no family. I have no money, no things of my own. The life I knew is gone completely, forever."
Tag hadn't even said any of this to Zippy.

"But you're here," he said, pulling back to look at her. "You're alive and you're breathing. That's amazing luck to me."

Tag nodded, another tear threatening to fall down her cheek.
"It's just been so hard. This past year, it's been rare when I've thought I actually had something to be thankful for, something to live for..."

"Don't talk like that," he said, cupping her face in his hands. "You are one of the most special people I know. You brighten up everyone's day and you are nothing but caring. You have a lot to live for. And you haven't even started, you've still got that seamstress job you're lookin' at, right? And besides, I wouldn't know what to do without you."

Hearing that made Tag's heart swell and the tears behind her eyes start to fall.
"...Really?"

Tag gazed up at him through her watery eyes.
Then, she stood on her toes and kissed him firmly.
