    Summary

    "What else do you want me to say?" he asked, his voice dropping into a lower, more vulnerable register. It wasn't a challenge; it was a plea for a boundary, a request for you to stop digging into the parts of him that he had spent years smoothing over with duty and domesticity trying to forget you. He felt an absurd urge to apologise for the flatness of his answer, to explain that 'fine' was the only word that didn't feel like an admission of some profound, missing piece. That he wished she was you.
