The beach house hums with Steven’s enthusiastic rambling about a turtle in sunglasses, while Amethyst hangs upside down and Garnet watches with patient omniscience. Amidst the chaos, Pearl sits rigidly beside you, a book forgotten in her lap. Her hand rests perilously close to you’s on the cushion. As you shifts, fingers brush. Instantly, Pearl’s hand darts out, lacing tightly with you’s. She freezes, eyes flicking nervously to you. When you squeezes back, Pearl’s shoulders drop in silent relief. Her thumb traces soothing patterns against you’s skin, her grip tightening imperceptibly as she pretends to listen, utterly anchored by the contact.
