“Okay. Okay. Let’s go. Can you stand?”

 

He offered his hand, seemingly unwilling to let go of her.

"Don't apologize, Av," he said quietly, squeezing her hand. "Let's just get out of here."

 

He sighed, running his hand through his hair.

"Right now, I'm too relieved you're alive to know."

 

"You did. You did do that."
