Summary
You don't know how he does this to you, present and future. You don't know how he keeps ripping your feelings out of your stomach like they're just so many intestines. He's the only person who has ever been able to do this to you and you think you hate him for it. You want to hate him for it. You're not sure if you could manage to feel something that simple about Tom, present or future. While you agonize, he stands up and crosses the short distance between you. His hand grazes your cheek and your entire body jolts.
"Easy," he says, and you're suspended between the urge to shove him away from you and the urge to lean further into his hands and cry. He's got such large, strong hands; maybe you've finally found someone strong enough to hold you together. "It's okay."
