"That's not--" Inara sighs. "I just want you to be able to talk without yelling. Or crying, or...Kaylee, you're leaving. You can't ask us not to be sad."
She reaches out to touch the other woman's arm again. "I am so happy for you, I am." Her eyes are tearing up, doing exactly what she's begging Kaylee not to do. "But I'm going to miss you so much. It's always harder when you're not around. I don't get my Kaylee time, I'm always around Mal and I have no one to complain about married life to."
A smile breaks though on Inara's face, watery and heartbroken but happy at the same time. Bittersweet. "But I want you to be happy. And if leaving with your husband, giving yourself a life with just him is it, then I'm happy for you. I love you, Kaylee. I just want you to remember that we all do."
