"Deal," he smiles and then looks me over like I'm some stranger to him.

actions make a little more sense now. Not that they didn't before. Fear and anger greet me along with a warmth I didn't think I'd ever find inside of him. For the first time since he started to fall, I believe him. The love and grief he felt in watching me fall apart are real. As our new bond snaps into place, our complicated emotions seem that much
