❝I stayed up waiting.❞
from : x.
the quiet statement startles him, results in a lurch of shoulders against the wooden doorway. the little cabin is dimly lit, engulfed in the suitcase’s imitation of night. weary eyes look to newt, take in the dark scuffs against beaten coat, hair still left wild from the earlier battle. guilt consumes. jaw clenches ; he drops his gaze. voice cracks when he speaks. he’s not exactly sure what he’s apologizing for. ( there’s too much. far too much to forgive. )
‘ i’m sorry. ’
