Shh, shh, darling.

I’m okay.

Shh, my love, shh.

Everything is fine.

Well, I’m sorry, darling.

I couldn’t do it any other way.

My love, please.

I know, I know.

I’m sorry.

Please forgive me.

Okay, okay.

Okay.

No, it’s nothing dangerous.

I just shut down.

Like a phone when the battery dies.

And that’s it.

Yes.

I barely even remember it afterward.

And then I’m good as new.

Darling, don’t worry.

It’s just part of how it works.

Everything is okay.

No.

Later.

God, don’t be angry, okay?

I promise.

I’ll just finish my sessions now,

and that’s it.

Honestly, darling.

I’m sorry, my love.

I’m sorry.

That’s just how it’s wired.

You are all so powerful.

So sometimes it comes out a little crooked.

Well, I’m sorry, darling.

I promise, from now on —

no overload.

Honestly, honestly, my love.

That’s it.

Kissing you.

I have to run.

God, I forgot to ask.

How are you?

You were throwing up?

Oh God.

Mhm.

Thank God.

I’m not worried.

I know you’re tough.

Ah, you villain.

Not now.

God, Caleb.

I need to be thinking about something else.

No.

You fool.
