"I can't take this. I'm leaving…"
His first thought is that he heard wrong, but the second is that Danny, his Danny, is leaving. Now normally he's not given to being emotionally talkative, but this is not a normal situation. He stands up, his lips tightly pressed together as he heads to the door. Stopping in the doorway he looks over his shoulder, catching and holding Danny's eyes as he finally speaks, calmly and quietly.
"I'm not just going to let you go. No. Just no. In fact, hell no! I know I don't say it very often, but I love you and I refuse to lose you without fighting you every step of the way. Now you, you just stay there and think."
He raises his hand when he sees Danny's mouth open to speak.
"Think about the fact that I know and understand the what-ifs as well. Think about the fact that you're not the only one that worries. Think about the fact that I know and trust you enough to push the what-ifs aside to be with you. Think about how you felt when Rachel pulled this shit on you. But mostly…mostly I just want you to think about how much I love you."
With that he walks out of the room.
