Vincent leaned over to straighten up some of his papers.
“I think it’s admirable for you to want to know,” he said. “I wish I had that desire. But…”
He didn’t finish. He didn’t really have to. Cloud knew what he meant and felt the same way.
“I’ll be okay,” he said without thinking. “I’ve lived through worse.”
Vincent gave a tiny laugh.
“You don’t even know what you’ve lived through.”
Cloud smiled, and put the pen back in his mouth to chew it into an even more sorry state.
“Listen,” Vincent said. He spoke very softly and with great care. “If you want to talk about anything, please find me. I know what it’s like to…”
He trailed off. Cloud fingered the hem of the sheets in his lap. He imagined many things he might say, all very reassuring, but sort of still hoped he would pick the sentence back up and indulge him.
“To want to punish yourself,” he finally said.
Cloud shook his head.
“That’s not what it’s about.”
Vincent slouched, nearly leaning against him. Cloud watched his fingers trace the wrinkles on the mattress. His hands were so large and blocky, but at the same time so slender and delicate. They moved elegantly in their idle flow.
Vincent nodded eventually.
