And if--" he cut off the next word, changed it after the briefest of pauses, "--something goes wrong, then what?" He finished off the remaining liquid in his glass in a few large swallows, feeling the burn as it went down his throat, and set it on the floor before running his fingers through his hair, forehead touching his knees. "I'd rather not have you than lose you," he said in a small voice. Although his body strenuously disagreed with those words.
