❝ Shhh. Just listen. You, of all people. Listen to what I’m saying. This…tonight…is the most wonderful thing you could have done for me. What you have told me, what you have done in bringing me here…knowing that, somehow, from that completely arse, I was at the start of this, you managed to salvage something to love is astonishing to me. But…I need to end it here. No more chair. No more pneumonia. No more burning limbs. No more pain and tiredness and waking up every morning already wishing it was over. When we get back, I am still going to go to Switzerland. And if you do love me, Clark, as you say you do, the thing that would make me happier than anything is if you would come with me. So I’m asking you-if you feel the things you say you feel-then do it. Be with me. Give me the end I’m hoping for. ❞

“For as long as you want me to. ❞
