Quinton was silent for a moment before releasing a deep sigh. âWeâre stupid. Weâre really fucking stupid, thinking we could avoid this, feelings, any of it. Just saying weâre fucking and thinking that makes it true. Simon I - I just got out of something that I thought was real and serious and I just - right now Iâm really fragile. I donât act like it often, I know that, but I just donât want to end up getting hurt or worseâŠhurting you more than I already have.â
âAre you serious?â Simon paused, looking at the man. âYou donât really hide the fragile thing. Like at all.â At least not from him. Simon sighed. âYouâre right, Youâre... right.â They were both too far into it.
