For Dribble Drabble – A Challenge.
Lucy & Scorpius. Music box.
When she finally began telling him, he didn't want to listen anymore. He felt disgusted by hearing her spill her every secret to him, how they flooded out from her like tunes from an opened music box.
She didn't stop either and he knew he should try and comfort her, that he was supposed to stop the tears that wetted her cheeks, but he just wanted to run away. To somewhere, where he would only have to carry his own burdens.
So he did run away, and the worst thing of all was that he didn't regret it at all.
