Re: Call: Wren/Luke
[A breath, as he tries to work out where to start.] I love you. And I'm sorry. [Quickly.] I know you'll say I don't have to be, but I do. For before. I wasn't very understanding and I should've been. [...] I just-- I want you to know that I do understand, and I know it's hard. I know I did that, because I lied. It was stupid and wrong and I was trying to keep you from getting hurt, but that doesn't change that it was stupid and wrong. [Rambling, at this point.] I'm not going anywhere, okay? So you can be as scared as you need to be, you can be whatever you need to be, and it won't matter because I'll be here. I am here. And I'm going to be honest and patient and I'll remind you every hour of every day that I love you and need you because I don't mind, I really don't. Whatever it takes. I don't care. [Finally, a pause to catch his breath.]
