Kinda a big thing. You're right, you don't wanna do it lightly. But you asked how to get him to believe you, so... [ so, that's the best tactic andyr can think of. ]
I wish it didn't feel so much like giving up. I wanted... more, I guess.

nothing outside of adam, that is, but the worse things are with adam, the harder it'll be for ronan to want to keep holding on. ]
That's the thing that's betraying him more than anything, though, you know? Giving up. Accepting you're gonna leave him. Doesn't matter how much you think you love someone, if you leave them without a fight, that's... [ andyr sighs, picking at a dull nail. ] How's anyone left behind supposed to look at that?
