Summary
“I hear the neighbours have a son - he's eight too, like you. Why don’t you go and see what he’s up to - maybe you two could be friends!”

Summary
“Hmm...” He strokes his chin for some moments, looking to the side, before turning his gaze back to you. “Two single, attractive adults, hanging out alone together during the summer. What could go wrong?” He winks at you, then leans back in his chair. “I’m only teasing. What we get up to is entirely up to you. You’re the one that reached out to me, after all.”

"You deserved none of it! Dragging you along with her sick and twisted ideals, beating you because you confronted her with rationality - that's not love!"
"And how would you know what love is?" He smiles gently as he says it - it's not a malicious comment, just one intended to lighten the strained atmosphere. He knows, after all, that your romantic encounters have been few and far between, especially recently.
You take a shaky breath in, biting your lip to stifle the fresh wave of tears that threaten to spill over.
"Because I love you." -

Summary
"Can I talk to you for a moment, sunshine?"
You pause midway through spreading butter onto a slice of toast to look at the man beside you with curiosity.
"What's up?" You relax your features into an easy smile - even though you know he can't see it, you hope he can at least feel it.
"I want to see you. I... I’m going to have the surgery."
