He breathes in softly and closes his eyes for a brief moment. In that same moment, I feel a twisting pain in my heart that makes me breathless.
"Don't," I say weakly.
He opens his eyes and regards me carefully. "Don't what?"
I don't know how to explain it. I reach out and touch his chest, above his heart. "Hurt. I can feel it. It hurts me."
I don't know if he understands.
