take the time you need.

HE’S BROKEN EVERYTHING.tangible things, a VASE and DRAPES. but, more so, his LOVED ones. his FAMILY, charlie and bella. his parents and siblings. he’s ruined so MANY things, he cannot STAND to face the wreckage, his responsibilities now. he needs a MINUTE ;; a whole, HUMAN minute before he manages to stop trembling with RAGE. when he turns to her again, he is struck AGAIN by how she SCALDS – her tears, her PAIN, are his absolute WEAKNESS and edward finally goes to her, kneels before his wife and curls a hand TENDERLY around the back of her head to bring her brow to his lips. “ SHHH. bella. ” PLEASE don’t cry. “ i WILL come back. i promised, remember? ” he doesn’t believe that she weeps SOLELY for him, but he seeks to reassure anyway because she’s hurt him with her WORDS, but he’s hurt her in so many MORE ways than with careless vernacular. “ I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU. ”

she cannot begin to encapsulate the relief of him coming back over to her – gracing her, even briefly, with his touch. her sobs of PAIN & GRIEF become sobs that are thankful of this consolation, even as she’s DROWNING in what she deems to be her own self-hatred; critically, deeming herself at fault for this chaos. his reassurance is not necessary for him to do, but it means the WHOLE WORLD to her. nose, only for a moment, nuzzles against his neck as she croaks a response while her cries finally subside. ❛ —- i love you, too. i’m sorry. i’m so sorry. ❜
