A student on scholarship paired with a reserved university professor—a pairing that seemed almost implausible. • "You can't comprehend her significance to me," I said, my jaw tensing as I fought the impulse to hurl something. "She is my everything, and I've just... I've just destroyed it all!" My voice tore through the silence as I hurled a glass of whiskey against the wall, watching it break and the amber liquid splash across the pristine white walls. "She will recover, Theodore," Asher assured me with a somber, understanding look, causing me to scoff. "Sure, she'll recover! But what about me?" I challenged, tilting my head towards him as he took a deep breath. "You'll get through this, Theo," he murmured with such gentleness that I envied his composure. "I won't make it without her," I slumped back into my chair, my hands trembling uncontrollably, missing her presence to steady me.
