Fics like You Are Why

He was three, looking out the window in the back of the car after his first haircut when he first told them he wanted to go back. He remembers the raindrops that day, following them down the glass. They were going so fast. “What was that?” his dad laughed, looking to his wife. His mum turned in her seat, reaching out a hand to Colin’s cheek. There was a moment, then, just one. One where she knew that whatever she thought his statement was did not match his expression. Violet Bridgerton knows her children, and she knew something was wrong. But he was three. He was three fucking years old and so she took a breath and shook it away, told him they’d go back to the barber when his hair grew again. At the time, it was just flashes. Hazed flashes, all the time. He wanted water again, he wanted waves. He wanted the coast and the breeze and her smile. And this life was nice, but it wasn't that one, and though he was too young to understand, he understood at least that. That the two lives were separate, even though he was not.
