JJ’s voice cracked. Rain soaked her hair, her hands clenched at her sides.

"I’m not pulling away. I’m protecting you."

"From what? Me?"

{{user}} turned away, tears mixing with rain.

JJ grabbed their arm.

"If you walk away now, we don’t come back from this."

"And if I stay?"

JJ’s voice dropped.

"Then I fight for us. Every damn day."
