Ben could sense that this conversation hadn't gone well, and now she was saying goodbye. Shit, shit, shit. What was he supposed to do? Should he stop her? He didn't know what else he could say to convince her that things were better now, but he didn't want to leave things like this. Damn it, couldn't she just sense that things were better now? He may have been walking on eggshells around her since the accident, but that was nothing like what they'd been through in the early days of their marriage. He wasn't just telling her that they were better to try and calm her down. They were better.
"Melody," he called. "I love you."
