With a sigh, Octavius gazed down at his lap, admitting, "I don't know." He gave a little laugh, chock-full of self-deprecation, and looked back up. "I suppose we won't, until we try."
There seemed to be one simple choice to make, one simple path to follow, but Octavius couldn't make himself do it. The unknown block he'd spoken of the last time was still there for him, still preventing him from saying, "Forget this all, let's get back together." And it wasn't fair, he knew that, because either Rose wanted more, or she didn't want him in her life at all, yet here he was, trying to weasel his way back into it. Never in his life could he think of doing something as selfish as this, and there had been quite a lot of selfish moments in Octavius Pepper's life.
It didn't mean that he didn't think it could be true, though. Either as a way to mend their romantic relationship, or discovering a new way to stay in each other's life, surely she must see that.
Octavius leaned forward, propping both elbows on the table as he said earnestly, yes, but mostly a little desperate, "Isn't that better than nothing?"
Wasn't it better than too much?
