Summary
Before she can stop herself, Trinity is reaching for Baran’s arm, holding her wrist with a desperation that makes her grip tight. Her eyes pierce through Baran and the woman almost flinches at the distress she sees in the pale green depths.
“Can I trust you?” Trinity's voice wavers and Baran searches her eyes, seeing the despair of someone who has never known who she can rely on. She knows the look well; it has stared back at her from the mirror many times.
“I'd like to think so,” she says in a steady voice. Trinity’s hand is slightly sweaty and very warm, and she can feel a current of anxiety running under the woman’s skin but she doesn't move.
A pause, then in the same steady voice, "I trust you.”
It's a glimpse at the redemption that Trinity can't have, but desperately wants. “You shouldn’t,” she whispers. “Not after what I said to you. I was being cruel.”
Baran looks at her intensely. “I think you were just scared,” she answers softly.

The unstoppable force of Baran Al-Hashimi meets the immovable object of Trinity Santos.
