A/N: Construction Site accidental death warning
- - - - -
Maybe I should have waited for the morning to ask these questions. I just… I have no control over my curiosity today, after weeks of ignoring things. But I also don't have the control to lessen the speed at which I am letting myself fall into her orbit, either.
I'm not going to last, am I? Did I honestly think I had the willpower?
"Did you know that commercial piping and HVAC installations are brazed, using silver alloy rods? Every werewolf on site during the rough-in phase certainly did. Kept nice and locked away at the upper level of the scaffold during that time."
I studied her face. Searched for the grief and felt like I found it sitting quietly underneath everything else. Like sediment settled at the bottom of still water, ready to be lifted up and turn everything murky until it can settle again.
