Vax took that as a sign he ought to get on with drinking, pausing to swallow a gulp of the wine before he made his answer. "I was sitting down to dinner, with my family, to celebrate the holiday - our holiday, after being here nearly a year." His voice had gone quieter. "It was everyone else that I needed in this place. Everyone but Steph. And it didn't feel right. Even though no seat had been set aside for her, the whole time... It felt like a gaping hole."
And I realized... I'd put her off too long. That it might even be too late already. But if I didn't do something about it then, in that very moment I felt it, then that moment would be gone forever. I could almost feel my chance slipping out from my fingers, and a chance at happiness... We both know that's a fragile thing."
It was why he'd kiss a girl for the first time even as he bled out from a wound, after doing something stupid she disapproved of, in possibly the least romantic setting he could find, and tell her in front of everyone what he'd never even hinted at aloud before. You know I'm in love with you, right?
