Finally, finally Theo met his eyes. Cash's breath caught and froze there. He usually stayed away from eye contact, but not with Theo — never with Theo — and it was just a relief to see his eyes again.
"It's up to you," he said, earnest. That was the troubling thing about this whole situation, this whole conversation: really, it was up to Theo. Cash could ask, but he couldn't make him stay. "I still — I still care about you. Of course. But it's up to you."
If Theo was going to leave, that was up to him — Cash couldn't tell Theo that he loved him with the wedding hanging over them both. It was going to be his secret.
