[ He definitely can't go back, not after the things they both said and how much they've changed. It doesn't change the fact that Hank loved her once, that he was so in love with her that they had a child and cared for that child with all the joy in the world.
But once Cole was gone, that spark they had died. Everything they did reminded Hank of what he'd lost, and as he started to drink more and do less, she started hunting more and spending less time at home. They were trying to fill the gap in their lives outside of each other, and it just wasn't going to work out no matter how hard they tried.
She left him with a warning. She made him promise. He knew it was a promise he could keep, back then. Why would he want to turn anyone? So they could suffer his same fate? He never thought he'd meet someone like Gavin. Someone stupid enough to save his life—someone who wasn't made of metal so they couldn't be brought back. Someone dumb enough to fall for him, despite his faults and his curse and his ten-ton emotional baggage.
Hank doesn't need to know Gavin is in love with him to think he's something else. He can feel it in his bones. Even in the way Gavin forces that smile. Hank chuckles, feeling the stress simmer down at Gavin's adorable stomach growl. ]
Always gotta feed the baby.
[ Don't worry, Gavin, you're a cute baby. And they're pulling up to a drive thru now, so the time has come. ]
