"No!" It came out louder than he intended, but Peter's eyes were firm on Simon, his expression quite serious as he looked into those beautiful blue eyes. "You are good. You're with him, doing something bigger than yourself. You're about to go out with all of us and do something even bigger. A chance to get your voice, all of our voices, out into the world and making a difference. You've got the courage to do that where a lot of people don't. You're not perfect but none of us are!"

Peter hadn't even noticed when he'd grabbed onto Simon's forearm and had a tight grip. "You should believe in him. I do. I believe in you, too."
