"...Much as I'd like you to have somewhere to rest and get some privacy when you land- I'm not gonna tie you to this place." The house his family keeps? That'll probably go to Jim, and the memories will be happier. Here?

this little cottage that Jim's only seeing because Leonard chose it as where he'll spend his last year alive?

It'll only hurt.

He doesn't have words for how much he wants to make sure Jim doesn't hurt in this mess- but he can, does, pull Jim in with arms tight around his shoulders, pressing his face into Jim's hair. "I just want you here. That's all. Might've had the nerve to ask for that insteada runn'n if I weren't so damn scared. Didn't want both of us to be miserable."
