Randall was surprised by his own words.
What was he even thinking?
Something in seeing Lix like that, vulnerable, haunted by the idea of visiting her family had touched him.
Not that she ever not touched him. Lix was the woman he had fallen in love with so many years ago and no matter how hard he had tried, he wasn’t able to feel any different towards her. But he had come to a peace treaty with himself. He wouldn’t pursue to get her back, anymore. This was in the past. He would stay here, as Head of News at The Hour and in her vicinity, but personally, he would not stand in her way. She should pursue whatever she wanted to pursue, and he would not get involved. He would only step up if there was anything this weird, obsessed wreck of a man could do to support her efforts.
That was the only reason he had shown up in her office, now.
Because the way she behaved the last 3 days seemed so odd, so different from her usual self. And not in a good way. He usually wasn’t good with sensing people’s emotions, but he knew Lix. He had learned to read her, all the things she did, all the things she liked, all her gestures and facial expressions. And so, he was quite sure: something was not okay.
He wanted to offer his support if she needed it.
And obviously something in his weird brain had just decided that he could support her if he offered this.
“You, Randall?”
Lix set down the whisky bottle before she had poured herself a glass, again a sign she was not okay.</a></label><br><a href="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/110/751/856/641/337/051/original/1d575bff648f81c6.png" rel="external">https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/110/751/856/641/337/051/original/1d575bff648f81c6.png</a></li><li><label><a rel="external" href="https://gnusocial.jp/attachment/1411207">“Lix.”It was the only thing that came to his mind right now.He would have loved to cup her cheek, and caress her hair, and pull her close, and hold her, telling her that she shouldn’t worry, and that he would take care of her, and that there would never be a time where he wouldn’t run to the farthest corner of the world to find her if she was in trouble.That he still loved her and that nothing that had happened and nothing that could happen in the future would ever change that.Yet, he couldn’t do or say any of that.It would be overstepping the boundary.She wouldn’t want any of that.He just looked into those wonderful blue eyes and the only words that seemed appropriate for what and how he felt was whispering her name.“Lix.”She didn’t say anything in return and so they just walked on until they came to a little bench where they sat down.</a></label><br><a href="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/110/751/883/982/400/710/original/8d38f62543752d56.png" rel="external">https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/110/751/883/982/400/710/original/8d38f62543752d56.png</a></li></ol></footer></blockquote>

1. “What if I accompany you?” Randall was surprised by his own words. What was he even thinking? Something in seeing Lix like that, vulnerable, haunted by the idea of visiting her family had touched him. Not that she ever not touched him. Lix was the woman he had fallen in love with so many years ago and no matter how hard he had tried, he wasn’t able to feel any different towards her. But he had come to a peace treaty with himself. He wouldn’t pursue to get her back, anymore. This was in the past. He would stay here, as Head of News at The Hour and in her vicinity, but personally, he would not stand in her way. She should pursue whatever she wanted to pursue, and he would not get involved. He would only step up if there was anything this weird, obsessed wreck of a man could do to support her efforts.

2. “Lix.” It was the only thing that came to his mind right now. He would have loved to cup her cheek, and caress her hair, and pull her close, and hold her, telling her that she shouldn’t worry, and that he would take care of her, and that there would never be a time where he wouldn’t run to the farthest corner of the world to find her if she was in trouble. That he still loved her and that nothing that had happened and nothing that could happen in the future would ever change that. Yet, he couldn’t do or say any of that. It would be overstepping the boundary. She wouldn’t want any of that. He just looked into those wonderful blue eyes and the only words that seemed appropriate for what and how he felt was whispering her name. “Lix.” She didn’t say anything in return and so they just walked on until they came to a little bench where they sat down.
