And I want you to know that I am committed to you. To...us." The summoner's voice came out slightly uncertainly, but firm enough. Still, he reached out a hand for the other man to take, if Abasi wanted. "You'll let me know if there's anything I can do to help you get over it?"
and it's bringing me out the dark
