"He doesn't want you to go, you know."

Amita turned, about to demur, but Don was looking away from her, something diffident in his stance she couldn't quite pin down.

"I mean..." He shook his head. "I'm messing this up. I know it's a great opportunity, a professor at Harvard and everything, but I've never seen Charlie happier. You make him feel..."

His eyes caught hers, dark and pleading. "What about you?" Amita asked, suddenly understanding. "How do you feel?"

"I--" Don's mouth worked for a silent moment; then his big hands clamped tight on Amita's arms, his mouth hot on hers.

I love this perspective. I like how this changes the Harvard story, how Don's in the middle and Charlie will never know. *g*

Oh Charlie. The things he'll never know. :)

I'm really glad you liked this.
