another night you wish you could forget
making yourself up as you go along
Adam had expected that tears might fall at some point during Pet's story, but that didn't stop his heart sinking as they did, desperately reaching to hold his love as close as he could, as if his lips and hands could erase the scars on his skin if he just tried hard enough, loved hard enough.
There was a nod, hardly noticeable but there; Adam had never been good at keeping his promises, but he knew he had to try his best for this one, even if it took him to the bitter end. He could not be another failed chapter in Pet's life. He wanted to be the happy epilogue, the ride off into the sunset. "You can depend on me for anything." He whispered into Pet's hair, the first of many such statements that night.
{FIN}
