When you want something so bad it hurts, he said quietly, and you bury it, bury it so deep that you convince yourself it no longer matters... and someone tells you you can have it, it's terrifying. What if you take the chance and you're wrong? What if you let yourself feel the loss and it's this huge pain and you can't put it back in the box?
