"Why would I come back?" Damon asked. "I'm home."

"Because I need you. I can't... I can't live without you."

"You don't need me." Damon scoffed. "And you can't play that card anymore."

"Yes, I do. More than you know." Melanie exhaled shakily.

"It does to me." Melanie bit down her lower lip to keep it from trembling.

"Because..." Melanie froze. She knew she wouldn't be able to get him to come back; she knew that the moment she called him. So why did she? "I wanted to hear you. I miss you."

Severus frowned, hugging her tightly. This was hurting him, too. "Not really, Mel. I wish I could say that I care, but I am incapable at the moment. Is there anything you'd like to say?" Damon replied, hating the bite of sadness in him. He turned his emotions off, damnit. Maybe he loved her too much to let go. |

"Not as much as I love you." This was not supposed to be happening. His walls were not supposed to crumble like this. "I'm not coming back."

"I-I know." Melanie said, her voice thick with sadness as one tear fell down her cheek.

"I'm sorry, too." Melanie said quietly before handing Sev the phone. She dug her face into him, trying not to cry.

Severus rubbed her back, pressing the phone to his ear. "God damnit, Damon, if I have to go over there and drag you back by your hair, I will." "I dare you." "I still have your ring." "So?" "I'll burn it." |

Melanie listened to the conversation, barely picking up Damon's voice. It took all of her effort not to break out into tears.
