“ Why do you do this? ”

“ I’m not whatever solution you’re looking for. ”

“ We are man’s marvellous light. ”

“ I can warm you up. ”

“ All right. I’m keeping him safe. I’m trying. ”

“ I thought I was getting used to it. It appears—the opposite, in fact. ”

“ They surround themselves with people who are in love with them. ”

“ I’m not a child. You don’t have to protect me. ”

“ You say you don’t want to be protected. Alright. I say you don’t have to be careful of my feelings. ”

“ Perhaps it was always going to end badly. ”

“ Are you and he . . .? ”

“ I’m not going anywhere. ”

“ Come here, Take my hand. ”

“ You complete and utter idiot. ”

“ I’m wondering what sort of blind idiot I was, not to find you attractive when we first met. ”

“ I knew you would be nothing but trouble. ”

“ I think it just hit me all at once. That I’m never going to see him again. ”

“ Every time you touch me it’s exactly what I want. ”

“ Come down here? I want to kiss you. ”

“ NAME. If you had any idea how you look. ”

“ I like your hands. I like watching them. ”

“ What? What’s that look for? ”

“ Darling, whatever happened to your face? ” 

“ I don’t lie to the people I care about. ”

“ Tell me to stay, stay for you, and I will. ”

“ I’m sorry it looked like—I’m sorry I was running away. ”

“ I think you know how much I want you, in whatever way I can have you. ”

“ You could still hurt me. ”

“ Why do you care? ”

“ Live your life only and exactly on your own terms. ”

 “ What manner of creature are you? ”

“ I like the sort of person you are. I liked you from the moment I heard you laugh. ”

“ Don’t frown like that, darling, you’ll give yourself wrinkles. ”

“ You broke my concentration. ”

“ You’ve got that thoughtful look again. Are you about to ask me something alarming? ”

“ You know more than enough of me to be getting on with. ”

“ Please. Please let me—NAME—I’ll explain everything, it’s not—it doesn’t change anything. ”

“ What is the matter with you today? ”

“ I’ve not seen her for half our lives, but I’d know her anywhere. ”

“ I’m yours to command. ”

“ I’ve never had to pretend to want you, NAME. ”

“ When you can’t think, cherie, let your hands think for you. ”

“ Up yours, ma’am. ”

“ I’m fine. I’m fine, I’m fine. Really. I’m fine. ”

“ I really am sorry. ”

“ Leave before I regret it. ”

“ Because in my experience, the face you can’t see is mocking you. ”

“ I know there’s something—large, and fresh. It’s lodged in you like a haunting. ”

01. gently brushing the other's hair out of their face to tuck behind their ear. 02. wrapping a blanket around their shoulders from behind. 03. brushing tears off of their cheeks. 04. reaching out hesitantly before resting a hand on their back. 05. placing a cup of tea or coffee in front of them. 06. sitting beside them while they are asleep to watch over them. 07. sharing silence with them. 08. pulling them into a tight hug. 09. writing something quietly and passing them the note. 10. fixing a piece of their clothing carefully.

01. staring at them in silence for a long moment before walking away. 02. slamming a door shut without explanation. 03. packing their things up, slowly and deliberately. 04. breathing sharply through their nose and refusing to meet their eyes. 05. cleaning something obsessively in silence.
