Hearing Sprinkles's comforting and encouraging words made Bel want to start crying. Maybe it was an after effect of the weed, or maybe it was the fact that she had spent weeks carrying around this secret, afraid nobody would understand her. Whatever the reason, she was relieved to know that somebody else understood what she was going through.
Turning her hand upwards under Sprinkles's, Bel entwined her fingers in his and gave his hand a squeeze. "Thanks, I really appreciate that. It's nice to know I'm not alone, you know?!" Bel said as she looked at Sprinkles very gratefully, and then bent forward and laid a kiss on his cheek.
"Why don't we go find us something to eat?" Bel suggested, "I think they had like pizza and some other stuff to snack on inside," she informed him as she got to her feet, a little unsteady at first, while still holding onto Sprinkles's hand.
