That remark was more than enough to pull out some brutal honesty from Hannah, even if she did it in a hesitant tone. "I want you to do whatever you want so that you'll be happy, because that matters a lot to me, but I would be lying if I said a part of me didn't hope and wish for it. I don't want to lose you. I don't want Lucy to lose you -" She had to swallow to keep her emotions in check.
"I'm not sure I'd be able to take it and be there for Lucy to the right level." Tyler had meant a great deal to her, but Lucy had been an accident. They hadn't developed terribly far as a couple. Despite the option to do the "proper" thing when Hannah discovered she was pregnant, they decided to keep on as they were and let things develop. While losing him had been devastating, part of it had been mourning for what might have been - and a great deal was mourning for Lucy's loss in never knowing her father. Neville was different. Hannah's feelings for him were different. She wasn't sure what she would feel or how she would cope if she lost Neville.
