Summary
"The guilt wasn't logical. That was the maddening thing. He knew it wasn't his fault. Adam made his choice and that was that. Regardless if Max was going to turn on him or not, Adam knew what he wanted from the beginning. But grief didn't listen to reason, and it had been living in the corners of his chest and waited for the worst possible moment to clump up in his throat.
Because no matter how many times he told himself over and over that it wasn't his fault, something about the way Adam looked right now made Max feel sick to his stomach. Had he somehow protected Adam the night he broke his ankle, there's a chance he may not have ended up in this position, sick, frail, desperately clinging onto the past while the world passed him by. Now, it just felt totally unfair to sit and pick on him when karma had already done the job for him.
Max swallowed the guilt down. Not his burden to carry anymore."
