Summary: He releases her arms to cup her cheeks, holding her gaze on his. “The world’s going to end,” he tells her, tracing her features with her eyes like it’s the last time he’ll ever get the opportunity. “If the only way to stay together is to throw in our lot with Them, I’ll do it.” She is shaking her head, tears in her eyes. “Do you want me to beg, Dana? Because I’ll do that too. Anything, just please. Please.”

Her given name on his lips hits her like a freight train. Her lip twists, and he wonders if the need in his voice is enough overcome the fact that she knows he’s trying to manipulate her. Dana is for soft moments, where he’s worn thin and needs to remind himself she’s everything. He’s never tried to use it like this before now. “Nothing you say can get me in that car,” she retorts, cheeks red and eyes bright. “I don’t trust her, and I don’t trust you in this state.”
