His eyes flickered when he looked at me. | put the clean dishes back in the cabinet, nice and neat, and then went
on. “I don’t get why you're still wasting your ton me. You've got plenty of other options.”

partner and mirror, building each other up, and facing the outside world together.
“I didn’t do those things well. You don’t need to hang around out of stubborn pride. You
should find someone who's just as amazing as you are.”
“I get what you're saying.” Jared gavea long, unreadable look. “But | can’t do it. Right
