Mosaic Reassurance

I was not ignoring you, really. My screen just gets caught in static when I feel put on the spot, and finding the right words takes me a moment. Inside the quiet craft corner, I found a shallow wooden tray filled with colorful ceramic tiles. With careful nudges of my sleeves, I arranged the vibrant blue, yellow, and red squares across the low table, fitting them into a tidy number two with a tiny star beside it. Being your second favorite is... quite special to me. I tapped the final tile into place so it would stay perfectly straight.
