"She didn't say." Sophie tried for his hand again and he jumped off his chair and backed away, hitting her hand away. "No– you lied to me."

"I know," Sophie whispered. "I'm sorry."

"That's not good enough!"

"Come on, it's not her you're mad at," Fitz said. "I know– I've been there."

"Have you? Because I seem to remember you having a bummer few weeks and then everything went back to perfect Vacker-land. So where's my perfect fix? Why does it just keep spiraling and spiraling and spiraling?"

"How can we help?" Sophie asked as he covered his face with his hands.

"Right now?  You can leave me alone." He turned and stalked away.

The room turned into a blur in Sophie's eyes.

Her tears felt cold.

Everything felt cold.

"Come on," Fitz said, draping his arm around Sophie's shoulders. That was when she realized she was shaking.
