Spider nods along, but deep down they feel something inside them…hardening. they always thought they wanted love, a great romance like their adoptive parents had. but maybe…maybe it isn’t worth the trouble. not if it could be so complicated and destructive. not if it could rend families apart. in fact, now the entire thing seems unnecessarily risky. perhaps it’d be best not to bother. suddenly Spider just feels tired, rung out and hollow and in need of a good cry. sniffling, Spider withdraws from Bas’ embrace and peers up at him with red-rimmed eyes. “‘m gonna go to bed,” they mumble, rubbing their nose. maybe if they sleep, a tomorrow without Hazel will seem a little less unbearable.
