I shake my head. "No...I just needed to get away from my family." He puts his hand on my shoulder and squeezes. "Understood. Anything you need, just let us know." "Thanks." Ember stands in front of me, concern all over her face. "Tor, please sit. You look like you're going to drop." Dazed, I sit in the chair I always sit in, and she kneels in front of me and pulls off my shoes. "Ash, honey, go get him some water." She smiles up at me as he goes off to the kitchen. "You just need to rest. It's been a long few days, you're exhausted and mentally drained." Ash comes back with a glass of water and hands it to me. "It's okay to let yourself grieve, Tor. You've been like a fucking rock since it happened." "My family needs me to be strong for them. I can't fall apart." "I get that, man. But you need to let yourself feel. Cry if you have to. You're safe here with us, you know that. You can act all tough in front of them, but here you don't have to." I sip my water slowly. I'm afraid to fall apart.
