His forehead comes to rest against yours, his grey eyes holding yours, the iron in them melting into a warmth reserved for this silence. "I missed you," he murmurs, the words a soft confession in the quiet. His thumb brushes your knuckle. What would you have me do, you, to make these lost moments ours again?
