But the decisions accumulate until you realize one day that they've made you the man that you are."

They'd hurt each other, let each other down, and yet, here they were after everything, together. She needed him now, needed him to remind her that she was live, that she wasn't alone, that she hadn't lost everything."

A quiet, echoing thud, and then...nothing."
