Summary
“I fucked this up, didn't I?” Audrey asked softly, and Harry frowned.
“Fucked what up?”
“CJ,” she said, closing her eyes and leaning her head back against the wall. “Keeping her a secret. It just made it a bigger deal when people found out.”
Harry swallowed. It was an echo of thoughts he had refused to give a voice to for nearly a decade, shapeless anxiety before the world found them and guilt-ridden resentment after. “We… might have jumped the gun, hiding her like that.”
Audrey’s lips twisted into the shape of something that was trying very hard to be a smile. Harry wondered sometimes how the hell she'd ever become an actress, when he'd been able to see right through her since day one. “Thanks for saying ‘we.’”
After they put CJ to bed, Harry and Audrey take a little time to fall apart.
