Summary
“I-I love you, buddy,” Rick says, stepping forward despite the wobble in his knees and tears in his eyes. “But I-I need time and space and sometimes -- sometimes I can’t think straight around you.”
Rick reaches out for Cliff’s hands, tries to twine them together but Cliff’s fingers are limp and loose at his sides. Rick looks up, searching for any kind of understanding - because even at Rick’s weakest Cliff is there, nodding and knowing.
But Cliff’s just turns away, looks up at the sky and says, “Alright.”
(Loose sequel to How Many Steps Forward, set post Bounty Law but pre-1969)
