"I did not say I didn't want to." Charlie protested, he didn't understand why people couldn't seem to understand that, if it was just some kind of Moody selective hearing, he didn't know but he didn't know how many ways he could tell either of them that he hadn't said he didn't want to get married.
"Whatever helps." Charlie waved off his feelings on the subject, he didn't really care if it meant they came to some conclusion on how to fix this that didn't just push Callum further away.
Wasn't that what Charlie had said about himself at one point? Though who he'd said it to now, he couldn't quite recall. He wouldn't have even talked about marriage with Callum if it wasn't something he wanted with him - but apparently he'd been so fixated on the look on Callum's face during all of that, that even after the fact he hadn't even considered the possibility that this was more a suggestion that Callum made to keep them together instead of something he truly wanted.
"Fucking hell." And all he'd been able to respond with that night was to try and give Callum a way out. Though now Charlie didn't know how to fix this, if what he'd said first was all that Callum would hear then how did he make him hear what he'd been trying to say all along?
