Goodbye, my mate
"I don't know if I can take that."
"You will," I said. "Let me go, Liam."
After a long, aching silence, he nodded. "If that's what you want."
"It is," I lied.
He forced a smile, brittle. "Then let's get some fish. For old times."
I matched it, hollow. "Yeah. For old times."
We wandered the market, picking out fish, trading small words like it could erase the wreckage. It was a goodbye wrapped in normalcy, a last thread before it snapped.
