"Are you sure?"
"I think we should move in together." JJ stated in a matter of fact tone over dinner.
"You, think that we should move in together." Emily repeated slowly. Her voice was hard to read but if JJ had to hazard a guess, she would have put it in the neighbourhood of 'surprise.'
JJ nodded and sipped at her glass of wine. "I mean come on, we basically live together as it is." She pointed out. "You're pretty much only ever here when Will has Henry. Even Sergio already lives at the house. At this point, it's kind of silly for us to have two different addresses, don't you think?"
Emily had never cohabitated with a lover before, let alone one she was in a committed relationship with, and while JJ had very valid points, a little tickle of fear in the back of her mind told her that it was a terrible idea, that JJ would get tired of her and she'd have to start over again. Alone. "Are you sure?"
JJ seemed just as surprised at the timid tone of the question as Emily did and she moved her glass out of the way so she could take both of Emily's hands in hers. "I want to live with you, Emily." She said earnestly. "This isn't just for the sake of practicality."
Emily heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "Let's move in together."
