It was a reality that Tony had known could happen. Yet when he heard Arthur
saying it like that, he felt the tightness starting again. The way his
chest constricted because he could see that in his mind's eye, see Arthur
pale and wasting away on a bed and knowing that this was one thing he
couldn't fix.
Making a small sound, he worked to take a deep breath, to try and make
himself breathe and not panic as he tried to think about anything but that
possible reality.
"Talk to me," he managed to whisper softly. "About anything."
