   Summary

   Grace laid Simon down into bed and tucked him underneath the covers. He stood to leave, but Simon's fingers caught the inside of his wrist, right at his pulse point, and he whispered two words.

   "Stay. Please."

   His voice was hoarse, and beyond that, broken, as though something fundamental within him had to shift without his permission, and he could not reassemble the pieces by himself.'
