Date: 14 Jan 2022 00:47 (UTC)"A year ago I faked my own death to get a clean break from my life. It wasn't because I wanted one. It was because if I didn't, everyone I cared about was going to pay for knowing me."

"That sucks. And I can see how that would've really fucked up your ability to be vulnerable with people."

Date: 16 Jan 2022 20:47 (UTC)A little shrug, and she continues, her voice patient, "But if you've found someone you want to be vulnerable with, who makes it easy, why say no?"
no subject
Date: 16 Jan 2022 21:01 (UTC)He's scared. He's terrified, and now that he knows it's there, it's somehow worse. He's scared of being open, he's scared of what knowing him will do to Malcolm. Sarah is the only one who ever made it out of a relationship with him unscathed.
Neal looks away.
"I want to say yes," he admits, very quietly.
no subject
Date: 16 Jan 2022 21:17 (UTC)She understands that. She understands it because of her own history, because she's also someone who always had a hard time being vulnerable. Because she had a boyfriend for a long time and never really opened up to him, and he deserved better than her, but he's dead now. Dead and gone. And he sacrificed himself so she could live, just like her mother.
"Are you really gonna live in fear?"

Date: 16 Jan 2022 21:53 (UTC)Neal starts to say something. Once, and then again, and then again. Not sure what, sure it won't be true.
Finally, he lands on, "I don't want to."
no subject
Date: 16 Jan 2022 22:01 (UTC)But then he answers he doesn't want to, and she nods, "Yeah. I thought so."
no subject
Date: 16 Jan 2022 23:36 (UTC)Has he ever stopped? Does he even know how?
no subject
Date: 17 Jan 2022 01:46 (UTC)"They might have been able to help you."
no subject
Date: 17 Jan 2022 02:08 (UTC)He's not sure if she's trying to convince her or himself. Neal rubs his face with one hand and takes another drink of tea. "What's done is done," he says, tone softly ironic. "And now we're in another world entirely, so what's done isn't exactly relevant any more."
no subject
Date: 23 Jan 2022 04:55 (UTC)For a moment, she's quiet, then she reaches out across the table and puts her hand on top of his, squeezing just a little.
"And it might not be what's best for Malcolm either."
no subject
Date: 30 Jan 2022 17:20 (UTC)He nods slowly, though he still doesn't really agree. "I'll think about it," he promises. "I will."
no subject
Date: 30 Jan 2022 22:14 (UTC)"Okay. That's really all I'm asking."
