Story Notes:

This story is a sequel to: Hesitate

Phil Collins, "Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)"

How can I just let you walk away,
just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh You're the only one who really knew me at all How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain, and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all So take a look at me now,
'cause there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'cause there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all Just take a look at me now

There's just nothing left to say, is there? There's nothing I can say to make Ray forgive me, or to make him understand. He's happy now and he deserves it. That's all that matters, really. Ray must be happy.

Everything else is unimportant.

He turned in his transfer papers. Perhaps back in the Northwest territories it would be safe to remember the happy times he'd thrown away.
