[ It's not the sort of promise he thinks she'll be able to keep, that he'll never suffer a scar like that again, it's not something he wants her to feel bad about when that day might happen—but he won't tell her not to. Not after that.
(Black... her emotions had felt black.)
But he'll move her hand with that delicate grasp on her wrist. Gently.
Just enough to bring it to his face to touch his nose against the back of her fingers in something quite small but quite tender, letting his eyes close. Like a promise highlighted by small acquiescence and apology. ]

Then I promise that, too. [ God help him.
Even if God never has. ]
