This place sucks a lot because it does take away your control. It takes away your freedom. Both Ronan and Adam are trying to get little shreds of those back and they're doing it in different ways. Ronan hates this even more because it's so hard on Adam. He hates that the confidence and peace Adam gained back home is being chipped away here.

He'd apologize for that, but he's not sorry for it.

He doesn't have to be sorry for almost crying. Ronan wouldn't have said a word to him about it. He would have held him until he was done then held him for a little while longer. Ronan shakes his head. "No. Don't fucking do that. You don't have to say you're sorry. Not to me, not to anyone."
