"Is...is that a bad thing?" He was extremely confused. Why was she crying?

She wiped at her eyes. "No, no...it's just..." She took a breath. "I know you'd rather pretend that Goblin never existed, Mike, but he did. And I loved him." She took a shaky breath, starting to cry. "And what happened hurt me so much...I--I'm scared to feel that way again about anybody..."

He gathered her in his arms, rubbing her back and shushing her. "Mags, it's okay. It's okay to be scared. But that doesn't mean you should let the fear overcome you. You...you can't let it control your life. You're a strong person, Mags. You just need time." And he was willing to wait.

She started to cry harder, pressing her cheek against his chest, clutching at the front of his shirt. "But you shouldn't have to wait for me, Mike. You should have a girl who's wonderful and doesn't have any baggage and that will just let you love her."

"You may think that, but I don't care. Everyone has baggage, everyone has scars. I just...I just want you, Maggie." he assured her, feeling his heart clench inside his chest.

She lifted her head to look at him, tears streaming down her cheeks. "You--are you sure, Michael? You could have any girl you wanted..."

"I'm flattered you think that," he chuckled, sweeping his thumb over her cheek to catch a stray tear. "But I just want you."

She stared at him, then burst into tears, burying her face in his chest.

He just held her silently, letting her cry. He'd always thought that girls getting emotional had been annoying, but he didn't think so at the moment. He realized she needed to do this, and he wanted to help in any way he could.

She cried herself out, taking a few deep breaths, and pulled away from him, wiping her eyes. "I'm--I'm sorry...I'm alright now."

"Don't be sorry," he said, rubbing her shoulder. "But I'm glad you're alright."

She sighed heavily. "I've been a terrible girlfriend to you, Mike."

He shrugged, looking completely nonplussed by her statement. "I don't think so. You're just going through a rough time."

She smiled a little, weakly, taking his hands in hers and bringing them up to kiss his fingers. "Why are you putting up with me, anyway?"

"Because you're worth it," he whispered, pressing his forehead to hers.
