   Summary

   There were years between you.

   You found them in the lines around his hands, in the smoke on his breath, in everything he’d lost and never learned to mourn. He looked at you like you were a beauty to behold, but like something already gone before he could touch it.

   Frank knew better.

   You wanted to be ruined.
