    Summary

    Set after an argument in DE, Max decides she can't let Safi walk away from her, not after everything she has done. Things quickly spiral afterwards (and the sex is incredible)

    or

    “I think you should leave me alone for a while. Maybe a long while.”

    The pain spiralled out from the centre of Max’s chest almost right to her fingertips. The grief—ever so present at the edges of her mind and heart—threatened to crush her completely as Safi looked at her like that. Like Max was the enemy. Like Max was actively harming her.

    It was unbearable, seeing Safi’s dark amber eyes narrow at her in distrust and suspicion. To see that mouth—always so distracting—pulled firm in a line, not smiling for her, not smirking.

    Max began to splinter and nearly unspool at the seams. She hated that she couldn’t tell Safi what she was doing, how the hell could she? How could she articulate what her life had become since that awful moment at the overlook?
