"C'mere."

She heads over to him. Assumes her standard neutral snuggling position. Ignores the horrible sinking feeling in her gut.

He lies there and holds her. His breathing sounds a bit funny.

"Did you want to talk about anything?"

"I don't think I know how."

"Ah. That seems like - a hard problem.

"Do you need anything?"

Snort.

"Do you want me to keep talking to you?"

Permalink

"Yes."

Permalink

"Okay.

"Do you want me to talk about anything that happened before, or - other things."

Permalink

"I don't know. 

 

Worried things will get worse if I don't think of the right thing to say. And I can't - think."

Permalink

"Yeah.

"I'm okay talking about other things to you for as long as you want. If that would help at all."

"The book of poems you ordered came today. If you wanted me to go back to my room and get them I could read those to you."

Permalink

"What's wrong with them?"

Permalink

"Nothing. I liked them."

Permalink

"Oh. 

 

Sure."

Permalink

"I should go and come back and let myself in and read to you?"

Permalink

 

"Yeah."

"Okay."

She reads for quite some time.

 

"I can read the whole book to you, if you want, but if you'd like to stop before then or talk about something else, you'd have to tell me to make it happen."

Permalink

"Book's fine."

Permalink

Then she'll keep reading until either he stops her or she runs out of book.

Permalink

He does not stop her.
