It's short and to the point, something we'll never get on the show. (Do I sound bitter?)
Kim quietly closed Mikayla's door, pausing for a moment to relish the idea that she was sleeping peacefully, safely, on the other side. Turning, she headed for the living room and steadied herself for the conversation she knew she needed to have. She found him folded into the corner of the couch, face still blotchy from tears. He didn't look up at her.
"Adam, I think we need to talk to someone." She had planned a speech to try and ease him into the idea but maybe direct was better. The worst had already been said today, why beat around the bush now?
"Personal therapy, each of us." He still didn't look at her, just kept his gaze on his hand that was tracing an unseen pattern in his pants.
Kim was stunned. She had expected a fight, not suggestions of support. Slowly she approached him, sitting silently next to him but not touching him, still unsure of what this all meant. Deciding to go for broke, she quietly whispered, "Family counseling, too?"
Adam's hand stilled, he had not expected that. Moving slowly (for the first time that day) he reached over and covered Kim's hand with his own. "Yeah, family too." Some time passed, their breathing falling into sync before he spoke again. "Kim, what about us?"
She sighed deeply, knowing this thing between them was too important to ignore but maybe damaged beyond repair. "I know you love me. And I love you Adam, but I don't know if I'm good for you. We're good for Mikayla, but are we good for each other?"
Adam nodded. He didn't appear surprised by her remark, as if he was wrestling with the same thoughts. "Are you willing to try and find out?" he asked. There was no judgment or anger, just a simple question.
Kim laced her fingers through his, squeezing his hand as she placed her head on his shoulder. "Yes, I want to try." Adam pressed a kiss into her hair, mumbling "so, we try." before resting his head on hers and letting his tears fall again.
I'm done. If anyone else wants to pick up from here, please do. But I can't deal with this show slowing killing these two anymore.
