Altair: [quiet] I didn’t ask for it to happen, for any of this to turn out how it did. You have no idea how many nights I’ve spent thinking about. How I much I wish that I could go back and make it happen differently. I didn’t mean to hurt you.

Sirius: I know that…

Altair: Then why are you treating me like I asked for it to happen?

[long pause]

Sirius: Can we just, hit pause?

Altair: I feel like we’ve been on pause for years.

Sirius: [hugs her tightly] A little longer couldn’t hurt, could it?
