October
when the night falls on you
& you don't know what to do
& you don't know what to do
"It didn't feel right to just...sleep beside you." Tobi murmurs, unsure if this is opening the door to yet another part of the conversation that might best be saved for later, or if it tracks with his current concerns. "After what you'd just come back from...how we left things.." She shrugs slightly, watching as he hunches forward, and wishing they could go back to a time where she had the ability to make things better for him, instead of worse.
"I am looking at you." She listens to what he has to say, but nothing that he does changes her convictions. "And I have been. For years now." Tobi adds; the wool hasn't been pulled over her eyes, and as his doctor, she's privy to more details than anyone else, save for Falke and Cian. She knows exactly what Finn is, and what he isn't. "I can't think of anyone who has lived the life you have. And you've come out the other side kind and gentle. You're clever and sweet and you're good, Finn. So if our child is like that.." Tears shine in her eyes, but these aren't the kind that hurt. "..I would be grateful."
Reaching out, Tobi puts her hand on the couch between them. A gesture, if he wants to take it. And if not? That's okay too. "Don't let people like Cian trick you into thinking only perfect things are worth having."

nothing you confess
could make me love you less
