I saved yours for last after our conversation earlier. By earlier, I don't know if I mean yesterday or today. They've all bled into one. But...
That was wonderful. You nailed that one right on the head. Yes, there are definitely days when just knowing they're going to come in and want to talk to you, touch you and even breathe the same air as you is enough to make you want to smother yourself with a pillow. Because, obviously, smothering them would just land you in jail where you'd end up as someone's bitch.
I'm so glad that Harry understood and was able to give Severus the space he needed, even at the expense of his own heart.
