"Just. Stop." Quieter again, but the outrage still simmers. "Don't you do this shit with me Ro. Especially not about that night." Gods, he wants to just shake her, jostle up all those stupid thoughts, or press his forehead against hers so he can just meld the way he thinks straight into her brain. "I chose to stay. You didn't make that choice for me. I wanted to. Fuck's sake Flora, I was thinking of moving in with you!" The fact she also suggested that, is besides the point, he thought about it before she said it, he considered it, still does. "I kissed you back," he reminds, gaze flashing with the heat of the memory, with some insane desire to do it all over again just so he can convince her that he is just as guilty. "I'd do it again, too," he promises with unflinching honesty.

I keep acting tough but maybe I'm not good enough
