He managed a smile for her as she left then let his shoulders slump and his head fall after she was gone. He tried to gather his thoughts, figure out what he was doing here.
He loved her, truly and without question, and he knew she loved him. So dammit why couldn't he be happy with that. Why couldn't things just work out like they should. And he knew what that reason had to be. He still couldn't shake the almost ever present feeling that she deserved better. Despite all her assurances and what they had together that feeling still nagged at him and caused him to ruin moments like the one they'd just had.
It was a work in progress though, [i]he[/i] was a work in progress. And as he set the table right and headed out to clear out more of his messes the nagging doubt followed him but along with it the hope that with time and work he'd be able to silence those doubts and feel like he was what she needed.
