   Summary

   " Sometimes we think that if we talk enough… " he said carefully. "If we say the right word… we can bring them back. That somehow, if we ask enough, if we pray enough, they’ll come back." the brunette’s voice still sounded calmly dreamy, but it had a tone that showed he was opening a can of feelings he hadn’t dared to look at. "But that’s not how it is." 

    

   Richie looked at him for the first time since he’d started talking. His eyes were red and swollen.

    

   “Are you talking about her?” he asked, almost without a voice.
