At Eloise's comment, Saiden felt his eyes well anew with tears. Letting go of her, he wiped them away, though slowly, still not embarrassed to be seen like this. "I guess I'll never know now, will I?" Speaking in a whisper, his expression was heartbroken.
Shaking his head a little, he stepped out of the pool, though he turned to sit at the water's edge. "I don't know." Sighing, he pushed his damp hair out of the way, then stared at her with sad eyes. "But I don't think you can give it to me. Not right now. Not with the way things are between us." He wasn't upset with her or mad at her, though he was always a little melancholy that things had ended.
He smiled, though it didn't reach his eyes. "You have your own troubles. I just...wanted to tell someone who would understand."
