She doesn't want to lose him - lose this. Lose whatever could be ahead of them because of what's behind her.
But what's behind her is so staggering in its entirety. What's behind her almost killed her, still might, she doesn't know. Some days she feels like herself again. Some days she can't remember why she's getting up and moving at all.
She watches him lean away and her instinct is to reach out again, to pull him close again, to follow. She swallows and holds steady.
