[And you want to believe it's true, so you make it—

No. No, he's not going to do that. It would be so easy to just lean in close and sing the feeling until it takes, but this isn't about what Connor wants. There's a gentle lull of strings rising in the distance and then, softly:]


Silence overtaking, darkness overhead,
shadows now are waking monsters in the bed
Bitter hearts are aching, heaven knows just why,
but look the clouds are breaking: full moon lullaby


[It's the same trick he pulled on Ricky when they first met. A sense of peace should wash over Dave and in a sense? In a sense that's just as bad as the other thing he wanted to do but... he doesn't want Dave to worry about it. It'll only last until the song is over anyway. Connor kisses Dave's cheek once he's done and then takes a deliberate step back.

He meant what he said: it stops when Dave says.]
