Summary: Robin knows Much's worth.

Acknowledgment

The look on his face said it all.

I overstepped my bounds again.

He'd done nothing to deserve my wrath or my harsh words and, yet, I could not help myself.

His very presence was a trial, but only because he was a much better man than I. His very goodness only serves to highlight the darkness that resides within me.

I cannot live without him and, yet, some days, I fear cannot live with him.

His love and his loyalty cling to me and they shame me even as his words will not.

I do not deserve him.
