Summary
"It's been five years, Jake." She points out, as if he hadn't felt every single second of those years slip away. "I don't know how much longer I can let you wait for someone who isn't coming back."
"You don't have to let me do anything." He murmurs, brushing off his sister's question. "It's my decision."
Ellie continues, ignoring Jake's attempt to ignore her. "Wouldn't Bradley want you to be happy?"
Jake exhales sharply at the name most people have learned not to mention around him. "What does it matter what he would want? He's not here, is he?"

Summary
"That's it?" Bradley asks into Jake's shoulder. "You're not angry?"
Jake pulls away so he can look at Bradley, giving him space to breathe again. "Of course not."
It's wrong, all wrong. Bradley wishes more than anything that Jake would drop the act, scream at Bradley the way he deserves. Instead, Jake kisses his forehead. "I'm not angry, darlin'. You came home, didn't you?"
Bradley doesn't have the heart to disagree.
