Every anxious, indecisive instinct in Cam's body screams to hem and haw, to say no, I'm not ready. (They note, also, that "at last": they're embarrassed to think that the goddess is aware of their procrastination, that the Voice herself has been waiting for them.)
But they didn't want to live like this. And things weren't going to get any better unless they took action. So Cam took a deep, deep breath, then raised their head to look the Voice square in the face, not caring if that wasn't quite the respect you should show a goddess. If the Voice was so arrogant as to be offended by someone looking her in the eye, better to find out now.
"Yes," Cam said, stepping forward, into her arms. "I'm ready."
I have to be ready.
