[Nate's more than half expecting a withering comment, or a quiet, repeated order to just go. And that's not how he wants to leave this, he doesn't want to walk away leaving such hurt and anger between them when he'd come here out of love, but he doesn't know how to stop it.
Maybe he should have more faith in her. Because when he opens his eyes and looks at her again, not sure he'd heard her correctly, she's really there and she's not pushing him away. She just looks tired and sad.
He doesn't want that. But it's at least a little better than rage and rejection.
Nate has no idea what to say, so he doesn't say anything, just takes a few steps closer, unsure where to go from here.]
