"I suppose- Though for all this year's not been the best- I'm sad to see it go. ...I'm not looking forward to a new year without Alex," he confessed quietly. "I think about all the things he'll never see, that I'll never tell him, and... I ache. The future's a painful thought for me still."
Danny let himself be pulled in, wishing the embrace could melt away the pain- But the ache simply lingered, the way it always did.
"I know. I'm alright Hex, really, I'm just... Feeling it, that's all. I don't think that's a bad thing."

"Alright," Danny nodded, smiling then heading inside, ready to have some tea and wind down.
