But I was on a roll then, so I kept on talking over the noises he made. I told him how I needed him to continue to be happy, how he lit up a room, an entire building simply by being there, and how I never want to be the one to dim that light.

I will bring him down, because even though I’m better now, there is no guarantee I will be forever. I told him I have anxiety issues, to which he said: I know. I told him Janet thinks I suffer from situational depression, not clinical, and how we’re trying to work through it without medication. He hummed and nodded and held my hand. I wanted to cry. We sat there
