Yeah to avoid the discussion but also she’s right. And he does know. And he is listening.
Listening and watching as Darcy somehow manages to uncover and unpick the hooks set deep in Izzy’s skin. The deepest first. One by one, her aim and skill are uncanny.
Him. Happy? No one’s ever said that to him before. Ever.
A flurry of emotion crosses Izzy’s face and he’s glad they’re driving again so he can hide it through negligence. You can’t just say something like that to a person.
The gut reaction is to say he’s happy, of course he is, but that is a damn fucking lie. Things have been bad and stressed for years. Weren’t always, but they’re in breakdown and he knows it. Deeply depressed and anxious. Is that all there is now?
Izzy doesn’t recognise Edward anymore. Izzy isn’t sure he recognises himself anymore, either.
“Don’t see much of a chance for that. This mess is too.. it’s too grand, you know? Can’t be fixed’n-“
That’s not really the way, is it Izzy. Be honest now.
