“What scares you the most?” His voice is quiet, too quiet coming from Niall.
Shane blinks. “Losing the people I love.” Niall considers this, nodding his head and dropping his gaze to his lap. Her words settle between them for a moment, along with the breeze and the fixed light of the moon, and then Shane adds, “Yeah, no that - that terrifies me actually.”
Niall’s arm brushes against hers. It’s innocent and hopeful. “I’m one of those people, right?”
“Don’t be silly,” she says, almost breathless, because in a world without Niall, her life would be dull and wrong. So, so wrong. Shane nudges him back a little harder, hopes it will tell him so much more than just a yes, always. “Of course you are.”
