oh-ho-ho bringing in a whole bouquet of flowers, I see. 😊💕  Well, allow me to fill a vase with words to keep them alive and pretty!

From “Now I See You in My Nightmares (Or Not at All)”:

“For what it’s worth, you’re not the same person who—” Scott cuts off mid-sentence, his breath catching in the back of his throat. Theo can see the way Scott’s body tenses, can hear the way his breath shudders unsteadily in and out of his lungs. Scott flexes his hands subtly at his side, working them open and closed, like he’s fighting the urge to curl in on himself entirely. Like he’s willing himself to be able to say what they both know completes his sentence: person who murdered me. Scott can’t seem to get it out—maybe he’s still not quite ready to face what happened. Maybe he's never even said it out loud.

And Theo isn’t ready to finish that statement for him. Guilt knots his stomach, and he averts his gaze, unable to bear looking Scott in the eye. Theo curls his own hands into fists in his lap, counting on the familiar pain of nails digging into his palms to keep him grounded. “You’re not the same person.” Scott repeats, decisively letting the rest hang heavy and unsaid in the space between them. Theo doesn’t look at him, fights the urge to tell Scott just how wrong he is.

(For every 🌹 in my inbox I’ll post a line from a WIP!)
