[It fucking better have been big. She feels the way he relaxes and nestles her head against his shoulder again. Shaun's about as good at admitting weakness as she is, and she's gonna damn well be as supportive as she can.]
Remember when I thought Yellowstone was too dangerous?
[Except if he kept posting pictures from all these dangerous locations, he'd have to keep surviving them. She doesn't expect Shaun will stick around long after he finishes this story, but she still wants him to live. It's nice to think that if there's an afterlife, and if that afterlife has an internet connection, she'd be able to see his ongoing adventures and know he was getting out of each of them okay.]
You're going to ruin my News blog with your Irwin shenanigans.
Your blog has infinite space, dumbass. [She's well aware that this is a pointless argument on so many levels. Shaun wouldn't use her blog for his adventures even if he does have them. He's just winding her up. But bickering with him over nonsense is weirdly comforting. She elbows him casually in the ribs.]
With me threatening to take over your blog? [He smiles. That's not really what she means, though. It's this. The bickering banter, and planning like they have a future.]
[And them sharing a bed every night. Living together with a sort of casualness she's only ever been able to dream about before. She grumbles as she tucks herself under his arm.]

Yeah. I remember. And how you wouldn't let me go to Shady Cove. I'm going to go there one day. Just you wait.
[Of course, it will probably be his last trip, but that's okay. it is the destination of a lifetime.]
I'll take a selfie and post it on your blog.

[Not that he really expects to live much longer than the end of the story, but it's fun to talk about. Especially when George reacts like she does.]

Think it would have been like this if I lived?

Definitely.

You being an asshole wouldn't have been new.

Still. It's nice.
