He nods. Yeah. Yeah, he gets... all of that.

He's keeping his eyes elsewhere. He thinks? It's probably best for both of them this way. They're connecting on one level, the important one. More of it than that might actually start to hurt. Something beyond the ache that this discussion was.

There's a dozen things he wants to say to that. But none of the words come. He's angry. And he feels this welling up of sympathy. And he's heartbroken. And he wants to rip both of them to pieces. And he wants to do something for her.
