Thomas moved forward as Stephie pulled back. The second he was closer it was like they were both magnets and they crashed together in a hug that looked like it might have hurt. "I'm going to fight with you," he whispered in Peter's ear, "I'm going to fight this with you."
"You don't know what it means to me to have you back in my life," Peter said, his voice also low.
"If it's anywhere near as much as it means to me to be back in it, I might have an inkling. I'm so damn proud of you for talking about this. I know it was hard."
