"What do you want from me?" Lindsay sighed, exasperated by Danny's persistent behavior. They had been standing in the doorway of her apartment, fighting for the last half hour.
"I don't want anything from you!" Danny cried in frustration, "Don't you get it?" Placing his hands on her shoulders, he lightly shook her, clearly trying to make her understand. "I just want you."
Lindsay pulled away from his grasp, stumbling into her apartment. He followed, and for the first time that night, he was in her apartment, despite already being in the building for almost forty-five minutes.
He stared at her, desperate, as he placed the palm of her right hand to her forehead, and he caught himself thinking he was causing her headaches. She dropped her hand and looked straight into his eyes, his desperate blue eyes meeting her slightly wavering brown ones, shaking her head. "Why are you doing this now?"
"Because it's the only thing that matters," he replied easily. In his eyes, right now, getting her back, his Montana back, was the only thing in this world.
"Why didn't it matter six months ago?" She turned away from him and walked towards the window, leaning against the sill, not chancing a glace at him. She knew he would follow her, and somehow, she knew he always would.
"Linds, you know I wasn't in a good place then. I just..." He opened and closed his mouth a few times, trying to find the right words to say, although he knew there would be no right words.
After a long silence she looked up at him. He could see the tears in her eyes, and she quickly blinked them away. "Do I really know that? Do I? When did I ever hear from you that you weren't in your right mind? Besides tonight, and a few weeks ago, the rain walk, when did you ever even try?"
"Montana..." he pleaded, grasping her hand, and never wanting to let go. She pulled away quickly, her hand burning from the sensation of it being held in one of his.
"No, just let me get this out. After Ruben, I didn't expect anything of you. You were hurting, I understood that. I just figured after a few months you'd start to go back to normal, and things would be okay. I tried hard to give you your space, but I also tried to be there for you in case you needed it." She paused, taking in a long, shaky breath.
"But things didn't go back to normal. You just...you were different. And in the time I was alone, hoping, praying you would call, I thought a lot about us. What do we have to fight for? Why are we even together when every step of the way it's an uphill battle?" Lindsay glanced out the window at the world passing by, the tears she'd been trying to hold gathering at the corner of her eyes. She looked back at him as one fell. "What do we even really know about each other?"
He watched as she dissolved into tears, reaching out for her as she collapsed forwards, her knees giving out from the emotion. He dragged himself and her down the wall, and held her tightly under the windowsill, whispering reassuring words softly into her ear.
"I know you, Lindsay," he mumbled, rocking her against him slowly. "I know you."
