83. Fearful

“Just the Voice”

It’s the unknown that is the worst. It’s the not knowing how to get back, not knowing if they’re safe. It’s the worry he’s ruined everything and they’ll never forgive him. The moment he apparated, he knew he messed up. He didn’t even want to leave! He just wanted to be heard!

Lying back, he stares at the ceiling above and his chest curls with fear.

If something happens to her – to them – he will never forgive himself.

The prospect of sleep feels ludicrous and in lieu of it, he withdraws the Deluminator and clicks it to calm himself.

“Ron.”
