Work Text:
I’ve come too close to losing you, far too many times.
Grace Finnegan.
PC Garratt

The ones who hurt you. The ones I failed to protect you from.
I hate myself for that.
I hate myself even more when I remember the times I was the one who caused you pain.
Pushing you aside. Walking over you as if you meant nothing.
And yet here you still are.
My friend.
My support.
Losing Helen broke me, but you were there to pull me back from the edge.
Losing you?
There would be no coming back from that.
