Oh wow!! Such a great little story!! I actually have the Disturbed version on my “soundtrack” for my longer-term WIP! It’s beautiful.
The distinct possibility she would never forgive him stopped him every time.
Perfect line! Because… that’s the whole reason. Once he trusts her and knows her well enough to know she won’t print it… he just can’t because he can’t fathom losing her.

It was beautiful above the clouds, joylessly so, as it reminded him of his loneliness.
The whole story is so beautifully written, but this line is just… phenomenal.
Well done!
