Chapter 19
On the ride to Skyhold, CJ had done a lot of thinking. Thinking about how she felt about Iron Bull, and how she would act towards him when she saw him again. She hadn't had a chance to talk to him after Cole's last bomb-shell. The way she had seen it, she would have two options. Pretend Cole never said anything, and continue their friendship, or admit that she was afraid of how he made her feel, admit how she felt like she didn't deserve him, but tell him that she loved him and wanted to be with him if he would have her anyways.
That had been a startling realization for CJ. Love. She loved him. Sometime in the past year (or pretty close to), the respect and admiration she had had for Iron Bull had deepened. She, the woman who hadn't believed in love (at least not in a romantic sense) since she was a child, fell in love with Iron Bull.
On the march to Adamant, CJ kept touching the cords around her neck. Whatever happened, she was not going to hide anymore.
