Lift off your arms and I'll get the coffee
Evie falls quiet in the wake of his strained acceptance. What more is there to say? All she can hope to do is prove to him that things won't change for the worse. That can only be done through time. Still, it isn't easy to see him so burdened and distraught by the airing of her desires.
With nothing more to offer, she crosses the space between them despite how it feels like walking through quicksand. She won't make it seem like his emotions - for better or worse - could ever stand to scare her away. Gently touching his back, she presses a lingering kiss to his shoulder and does not try to explain anything more. Simply lingers in the painful silence. It doesn't lessen the hurt and the uncertainty of the future, but she'll face it beside him until the moment he asks for something different.

There's sleep in your eyes, I'll pull the curtains back gently
