Daniel shook his head. "I wasn't upset with you. I just wasn't coping with everything. Silver, Louie, Ma. And so I just withdrew and I'm sorry. I shouldn't have shut everyone out like that, especially you. You're my guy. But I just couldn't cope and I was spiralling." He ran his fingers through Thor's hair lightly.
"We were going to go to the police but then you tripped over the toys on the stairs and broke your leg. And then Ma turned up... fuck, she turned up. She's alive. And Lukas... Lukas healed her. And then we laid on the floor and waited for the ambulance."
His voice quivered as he fought back the tears. "But the headaches... they found the cause. You..." Fuck, why were words suddenly so hard? "You have a brain tumour, baby. But we're going to get through this. We're gonna fight it. Me and you. And I'm going to marry you, you hear me?"
