I love how this story begins quietly: breathing, gazing, sleeping, Marc's stillness; the soft touch of a hand to the back or the neck.
And I like how that outward silence is contrasted with the mental chatter of Roman's dilemma--& how his internal conflict builds to a crescendo until he breaks the stillness by rolling out of bed, falling to the floor and speaking out loud.
And the last bit of dialogue is poignant: how it seems Marc intuitively knows that Roman's 'everything is alright' is not true (ex: 'his eyes narrow and looks directly at Roman') but is willing to take his word.

Thank you.
