Alexi steps towards me and I step back. A clear signal I don’t want him near me, and he relents. Stopping himself and moves away instead, to give me space, the flicker of pain evident as his eyes dip to avoid me for a second.
A show of real emotion. Who knew he was capable of such things? Capable of showing me he is human after all.
It just makes the ache grow
