"I don't want to," he said quietly. "But Tez, it's not looking good. Lark says that I might only have a few months."
Her hands reached up and held his arm, and she couldnt help the tears. "I can't lose you. I.. I can't."
She shook her head, wrapping her arms around him. "It's not for the best! Don't say that.. Don't say that it's okay when it's not.."
He took her jaw in his hands, his own eyes teary. "These months I've had with you have been the happiest in my life," he told her, brushing her tears away with his thumb. "And I'm going to do what I can. But... Tez, baby, you gotta be brave for me, okay?"
