"The longer I think about it, the more I realize..." The pause was a little too long for comfort, "Maybe it's not me who needs to make you better. Maybe you're done learning for a bit, because maybe you need to forgive yourself.

Maybe.... You need to teach me to be better, and I need to teach you some things about love."

Their eyes met, and somewhere that enormous star burned.
