Caleb, thank you. I don't know what to say. Dispel Magic will be very helpful and I always feel better with Counterspell prepared. I truly appreciate you taking the time to do that for me.
I understand. I think that I understood even in the moment, but my own feelings of guilt were clouding my judgement. I will admit that I still struggle with accepting the trust I was given, so I overthink it at times. That doesn't excuse my avoidance -- that was born out of my being too stubborn more than anything else. The last thing that I ever want is to hurt you and I am sorry if I did, especially when I should have been supporting you.
Which, I should say, that I do, even if my actions have spoken otherwise. I think of you as my partner in every sense of the word. I know that there was more going on than what was visible on the surface, but I just want to say so there is no question that I am on your side, always.
Perhaps if, when this is all reversed and we're back together, we just keep our hands clasped at all times, the magic will have no choice but to not separate us. Surely that's how it works.
