A part of him still thinks this is some kind of experiment that'll leave him feeling empty and cheated again, leaving him to quietly leave and sit somewhere alone again. But Teddy can't miss this chance, and he holds her as tight and close as he can manage without hurting her, one hand gripping the back of her shirt and the other holding the back of her head.
Dream, experiment or not, there's no denying the lump in his throat and the burning sting in his eyes and the way his jaw clenches as if he's physically holding back a powerful emotion. Especially when she holds him back; how long had he just wished that she'd find him and wrap her arms around him and tell him things would be okay? He hadn't stopped doing so since the day she died.
His answer to her is nothing more than a contained hiccup. He doesn't trust his voice right now.]
