[reaches over to take one of his hands carefully.]

I did tell her she could come to the hotel if she needed a place to stay. The empty rooms are mostly closed off because that could lead to chaos, but I've got a bunch of blankets and pillows and everything set up downstairs . . .

[onlyoneof]

... thanks.

[skepticalities]

Of course.

[onlyoneof]

... and I'm sorry.

[skepticalities]

You don't have anything to apologize for.

[onlyoneof]

I do. September mentioned her, I just... didn't want to think about it.

[skepticalities]

You don't have anything to apologize for. Alright?

[skepticalities]

[pulls back just a bit after a moment, shifting one hand up so he can pet at his hair lightly.]

[onlyoneof]

I think I'm handling it well.

[skepticalities]

You haven't run off on me or shut down or anything, so— yeah. You're handling it well.

[onlyoneof]

... thanks, I'm trying.

[skepticalities]

I know.

[onlyoneof]

[settles down]

[skepticalities]

[gives him another light kiss.]

[onlyoneof]

I don't know what I'd do if she was here to stay.

[skepticalities]
