“I know that I can’t make it up to you. I seriously know. But believe me, I’ve been fighting for Omega rights every moment that we’ve been apart. I thought that if I couldn’t have you, then I could at least change things. Make things better. I haven’t been able to breathe without you. Not because my pain matters. It doesn’t. But because the thought of you somewhere — needing me — and not being able to be there for you was worse than even my guilt. I love you, Em, and if you’ll have me, I still want to bond with you. I never stopped wanting that.”
