   Something about the gentleness of his voice, the way his eyes flicked away from yours, made your chest ache. Cautiously, you moved your hand to sit atop his, and he recentered his gaze on you, blinking. “I’ve done a lot of things for you that I didn’t have to do,” you said, wrapping your fingers around his and squeezing.
