Tegan is numbing herself at a bar when in walks the tattoo artist who recently inked her during a drunken escapade with her coworkers. Cameron is into her and makes it known, but Tegan's running away, and recovering from a betrayal that ran deep. She wants to give Cameron a chance, but doesn't have the strength. But Cameron won't give up. He even invites her home for Christmas.

This story was an emotional punch in the gut. Nightmares from unprocessed pain is something I never considered and Tegan's struggle really touched me. She pushed and pulled; she didn't know what she wanted, or could handle. I wish she hadn't felt the need to run away so much, but I understood and I loved the moments where she let her vulnerability lead her. Her defense of her sister was endearing, although that side plot felt a little sudden. Cameron was patient and kind, but insistent in his own needs and I was proud of him. He gave Tegan the space she needed, but also told her what she needed to hear and didn't let her push him away. The two of them were soft and quiet together, love that was gentle but very passionate and I rooted for them. Good job.
