[ She watches him silently, giving him the chance to make the choice. She believes it's better to get it out but if he would rather decline the offer, she would accept that, too.

She smiles some at the mention of the stickers, the fleeting thought sent to him, Maybe if we ever find any. Because he's not wrong. ]

[ She tries to press her lips into not smiling, because oh boy does she know. She was mad at the time but looking back on it now? It was a little funny. And it honestly needed to happen. She just had no idea Peter would be the catalyst for it. ]

Yeah, it's true.
