Damn right.

[ snything else would simply not be acceptable. ]

[It's a relief to be known like this, in the end. If nothing else, it's a relief to feel the almost painful presence of her, close and snug and incredibly real.]

Promise?

[tombing]

[ it's not really a promise she can make: everyone's got a breaking point and she can't promise neither one of them will ever hit theirs.

but right here, right now? ]

Yeah. I promise.

[whisted]

...thank you.

[tombing]
