There was a long silence while Apollo considered the question. It was a very delicate topic to be sure, especially since he was having it with someone he'd only known a short while. A part of his brain was yelling at him for not just keeping his mouth shut in the first place.

But he'd started it, so he might as well see it through. "I can't really tell you that. In the end it's your choice. All I can tell you is anyone who's ever been in love has probably felt that way about someone. And do you really think you're the only one who's had that person die? I'm sure it's tough moving on, but that's what people do, one way or the other. We move on, move forward. We're resilient like that. You can't let one person be the end all be all of your life."

He didn't say anymore. He restrained himself from continuing in the hopes that something he'd say would break through the uncomfortable atmosphere. One day he'll learn when to keep his mouth shut.
