Every time Harrow says it, Gideon worries that the way her heart expands will eventually just crack every rib around it.
She loves it. And she loves how Harrow settles her face into the crook of Gideon's neck because Harrow trusts her and loves her and wants to touch her. It all speaks to a deep-seated protectiveness in her that she hadn't realized existed until they landed on the First, and she wants to fight for that feeling almost as much as she wants to fight for Harrow. "Yeah."
Not because it looks cute or is sexy or any of the usual reasons – although the all apply – but because Harrow (Harrow!) decided to sacrifice her dignity at the altar of trying something new. "And it looks comfy," she adds, smoothing a palm down Harrow's side and along her hip and reveling in the feeling of thin, quality fabric and how Harrow's body feels beneath it.
"But if you really don't like it, I guess I could help you take it off."
