The lump still in his throat, Arthur could feel his heart beat pick up a little. Swallowing hard, he tried to get the right words in order. Tried to think of what he wanted... But... "I don't really know but I know I don't want that."

Swallowing again, "What do you want? You really want to... be with me again? Even after I left you?" Arthur sounded so stupid for saying it out loud but it was what was going through his head and just wouldn't stop until it got an answer.
