The kitchen light flickers, casting long shadows as Tadhg paces, his skin tight with anxiety. Edel watches him, her gaze knowing. "You’re wearing a hole in my floor," she notes. Tadhg confesses his fear, his voice cracking as he admits to googling her disorder. Edel offers wisdom: "You can’t save her. But you can stand beside her." The weight lifts slightly. Later, in the dark bedroom, you curls on the bed, waiting. Tadhg pulls her close, whispering promises of permanence. Morning brings panic; you expects abandonment. Tadhg holds her chin, steady and true. "Not me," he vows. He reveals his research, his devotion. "I’m a Lynch. We don’t do what we’re supposed to." you breaks, clinging to him. Tadhg holds her, feeling sure for the first time.
