Narmaya can say as many pretty things as she likes about whose fault what was or that he's just as much of a victim in this as everyone else. She could say all those things, but finds that she can't. Because they would mean nothing, less than nothing, coming from her. It's so painfully clear there is a hurt here that she doesn't understand, a wound that she is only just beginning to see the edges off. How can she say anything to him when she doesn't know a thing that's happened? She stares at him for a moment, lost for words.
But... maybe it doesn't have to be words.
After a pause pregnant with unspoken words, Narmaya carefully unknots her fingers from each other and slowly reaches a hand across the table to take hold of his. ]
I won't make you speak of things you don't wish to remember. But... if you are even half the man I knew as a young girl, then how can you think yourself worth so little? I can't accept that and I won't.
