A choked hiccup of a sob makes its way out of my throat before I can swallow it and I hang my head, just to try and hide the way my face has collapsed.

I nod, wordlessly, because I don't know what to say. No, because if I open my mouth I don't know that I'll be able to keep myself from breaking down. I've been holding it together this long. A fucking year of struggling to hold it together.
