His hands are so cold it shocks her, but not as much as his saying that does. It kind of hurts honestly. She can't help it, because it's like all the things that she and Richard had been groping towards when they were cuddling and sitting together and the lines that they'd never officially crossed.
Fuck, they didn't even get the proper chance to tell one another that they loved one another. It wasn't fair. None of this was fair.
None of it.
But she just gives his hand a squeeze before she says softly, "it's okay, Richard. Go to sleep."
Alex eats when the food shows up, and she leaves his meal there, with the warmer so that he didn't need to worry about food poisoning. But in the end, it had been a very long... however the hell it was that they'd been doing this. So in the end, Alex just curled up on the other side of the bed from him, covering them both over with a blanket and fell asleep.
