Maybe since the accident... maybe since our date. Maybe earlier. I honestly can't remember. But right now... I guess it's the adrenaline winding down, or it could be just because I've been holding it in for so long, but I needed to get that out there.

And I guess I should get this out in the open, while I'm at it... [She breathes in deep.] Applejack... I love you.
