Allison shifted closer as Tris rolled on her back, body tucking against her side just a little without even thinking. As cold and as frightened and as lost as she felt, she was the moth to Tris's flame, drawn by all that quiet courage that she didn't even know she had, that impossible strength that hid in empathy and flourished with a little loyalty...
Sometimes just thinking of her made Allison ache in ways she couldn't even name.
"And you believe that. Like it's law...like it's religion." Allison mused, her tone making it clear she was enchanted by that part of her. Shifting a little, she propped herself up on one elbow, resting her head in her hand as her free hand found itself resting on Tris's shoulder, fingers tapping out a nameless beat against her sleeve. "And because you believe that so...totally, you become it. I wish I could be more like that...more like you. You're..."
Courageous. Vibrant. Remarkable. Beautiful.
Only some of what she felt had words, and the rest just sort of clogged in her throat, leaving her to simply stare down at Tris with eyes that shone with an emotion very close to adoration.
