NATE
“We have.” Nate agrees, squeezing her hands just a little, seeking something tactile that is frustratingly out of reach. There’s something she’s trying to tell him, or not tell him, something in the sunken edges of her smile that Nate tries to ignore. “They get easier to deal with. I’ve dealt with a lot now.” A soft laugh huffs out of Nate, gentler this time than it was before.
“No.” It’s the most honest he’s been this entire time, to both himself and her. For the moment, Nate is more than happy to sit beside Isla, pressed thigh to thigh with their joined hands sitting on their lap, staring out at the sea like it might bring some peace. Maybe he’ll have managed to find some by the time they part again, both of them returning to all manner of messes once again.
