    Summary

    Something inside Michael had also often wondered if Alex had left on purpose, if what Michael had with Maria had been the final straw in convincing Alex to walk away for good. But Liz cursed him out in Spanish when he’d suggested it, and Kyle angrily reminded him that Alex wouldn’t leave without telling Kyle and Liz goodbye, and without giving them any idea of why.

    The lack of Michael’s and Maria’s names being mentioned in the group of people Alex would contact if he was planning to leave wasn’t lost on anyone in the room.

    Summary

    Alex retreats to a remote observatory to recalibrate after the war. He expects stars, solitude, maybe a breakdown or two. What he doesn’t expect is Michael Evans, gruff, brilliant, and carrying a silence just as loud as his own.

    Summary

    “You keep giving people things instead of words, making yourself useful so they’ll stay. And if they leave, you just have to try harder next time because what you did before wasn’t enough. You show people you love them because saying it was...fucking dangerous.”

    Michael is silent and Alex thinks maybe he’s finished. It’s Michael’s left hand that’s gripping his, and that fact alone is short circuiting Alex’s ability to process what Michael is saying. But the words are slotting into place when Michael almost whispers. “That’s how I know.”

    Their hands are still connected and Alex squeezes Michael’s fingers, hard. He says the only thing he can think to say in that moment.

    “I don’t want that to be the only way you know. I want to be able to say it.”
