SPOILER!!: I guess I could have seen that coming, but somehow I didn't...

But how do you put that into words?
She took a pretty good shot at it. "Love you," she whispered, opening her eyes and looking at Nate. Lame attempt but it was really all she had. She kissed him lightly, then pulled away slightly to glance over at Pam and the ghost boy. Maybe she'd do better on this one. "Hey Pam?" she called. "I need you, you know that?" She relied on Pam a lot more than she'd initially realised. Nate was amazing, but sometimes she needed the stability of another girl as a friend.
Keegan would have called it vulnerability, Des would have called it feeling, and Jez called it being human.

Either by going to sleep, and having nightmares, or someone getting a letter. But she didn't let that bother her. Not now. She was glad she finally felt needed. By both her friends.
Nate looked at Jez, slightly shocked. "Love? You
love me?" he asked. He didn't even know that the word 'love' was in Jez's vocabulary! Seemed like it was. "Yeah, I love you too," he whispered back, followed by a short kiss on the ear he had whispered to. It was the closest thing to his lips, anyway...
Nate was glad that Pam was finally--wait a minute...--Pam was
smiling?! "Finally!" Nate inadvertently yelled out, beaming over at his friend. It really was the first time he had seen her smile in, oh, a year?
