He plunked down next to her, sullen and in an even worse mood than before but he did let Marney take his hand, feeling a little comfort in the gesture. "It's okay," he tried to shrug it off like it was no big deal even if the whole thing was bringing up everything he ever tried to hide about himself.

"I guess I'd rather have my fucked up life without him than a fucked up life with him," he growled.

"I'm sorry you had to get involved," he gave her hand a squeeze back. "Sorry you had to deal with him your whole life. I just had to deal with his absence."
