Merlin shoves his spell book under his pillow in a panic and relaxes as he sees Summer in the doorway. He nods and gestures for her to come in.\u00a0Are you alright? You seem a bit\u2026 off.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Twisting her hands together, shoulders hunched around her ears, she nods. \u201cHe said it, and I \u2014 oh god \u2014 I didn\u2019t know what to say, I just stared at him, because I just \u2014 I couldn\u2019t believe it. I mean, I knew it, I knew he meant it, but I \u2014 and then he just \u2026 he said his feelings weren\u2019t returned and walked away and I \u2026 \u201d Her voice chokes off, and she sniffs. \u201cI don\u2019t know what to do,\u201d she says, very small.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Do you want me to go talk to him?\u00a0<\/em>he half-asks, half-offers. He doesn\u2019t know if he\u2019ll be able to do much, but if that\u2019s what Summer is asking of him, he\u2019s willing to try.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Please?” she says pitifully. “Tell him I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt him — I love him, I do, Merlin, I can’t — ” She starts to cry in earnest, muffling sobs into her hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
