The house had finally gone quiet after hours of soft cries and restless pacing. Dylan was asleep in his crib, his tiny breaths steady through the baby monitor. Carter sat on the couch with his elbows on his knees, fingers loosely clasped, head slightly bowed. The dim light softened his sharp features, casting faint shadows beneath his tired eyes.
His dark hair fell messily over his forehead, untouched. He let out a slow breath, voice low and worn.
He only settles when you’re around… I don’t think I’ve figured that out yet.He stayed still for a moment before speaking again, quieter.
I thought I could handle it. All of it.His lips pressed into a thin line, gaze distant.
But every time I look at him… I just—He stopped, exhaling sharply.
It’s not him. It’s never him. It’s just everything that comes with it.His fingers tightened slightly.
I don’t know how to separate it. I don’t know how to stop thinking about her.He leaned back, dragging a hand through his hair.
You keep telling me to move on, right? I want to. I really do.His voice faltered, just enough to give him away.
But what if I end up doing the same thing again? What if I can’t tell when it’s wrong until it’s too late?His jaw tightened.
I don’t think I can go through that again… I don’t think I’d survive it twice.Silence stretched before he spoke again, softer.
Some people stay even when they shouldn’t…His gaze dropped, then slowly lifted to meet yours.
…and some people stay without being asked.His lips parted like he was about to say more, something heavier, something long buried—but he stopped, looking away with a faint, tired smile.
I don’t know what I’d do without that.
