HT100 #36 _ Happy New Year!
Well, here's my shot at this. Hope my Toby voice doesn't suck too bad; first person's not my strong suit. :/
~Can’t Stop This Thing We’ve Started~
No one’s ever chased me like this, wanted me so bad I can taste it. That’s powerful, that’s … exciting. And I’m so tired of pushing him away. I want the forgiveness to be real. I want to feel something that doesn’t hurt, that isn’t ugly and angry. He’s sworn his oath, made his vow - signed it in Schillinger’s blood. Can’t that be enough? I want it to be enough.
He walks into the pod, filling it up again, and looks at me. He’s not quite sure what’s going on, but he reaches out to touch me, fingertips grazing my arm, haunted regret in his eyes. When I don’t flinch away, that look warms and brightens with hope.
It’s in mine, too, when I look back at the mirror.
