Five times. Five that I've broken my promise and lost him. We never speak of it. There are too many literal monsters pounding at the door. Our conversations may skirt the edge of the topic, but it's our Medusa. Don't look at it directly. In our home, if you can help it, don't look in the mirror at all

Niko.

Not now, Holly. I have work to do, and beyond that, if we have a conversation, we are going to discuss things that we've already been over, to our mutual discomfort.

[captainshort]

I wasn't aware that checking on a friend contributed to mutual discomfort.

[cal_sitter]

I apologize.

[captainshort]

Don't start on that either. There's nothing to apologise for.

[cal_sitter]

Then what should I do?

[captainshort]

Try to remember the times you didn't break that promise.

[cal_sitter]

Easier said than done on a day such as this.
