"What about it? Merlin's beard, woman, what do you want me to say? I gave you space, whatever that bloody well means."
Sirius sighed, swallowing hard. He wasn't the kind of guy who put his heart out on his sleeve. He wasn't even sure it was his heart that was doing the primary talking here, but he knew he missed her. "I miss you. I think about what we couldn't... do, when there was no magic."
