  Summary

  They were only feet apart, yet it felt as if there were worlds between them, an unbridgeable space that could never be filled with anything Pip could shove into in a desperate attempt to bring back what they once were.

  “Yes, Herbert,” he choked out.

  (He couldn’t bring himself to call the other “dear Herbert”. It was a constant reminder of what could have been of them but would never be.)

   

  Or: Pip falling in love with Herbert and his realization that they could never be together.
