His words got through to her faster than her own thoughts had, she closed her eyes tightly, and ran her shaking hands up through her hair, and tried to recover even though it wasn't working well. Finally looking up, she breathed out with a shakey breath. She was trying to stay even, but her voice cracked when she spoke.

"Sorry. It's be- been a long... day." She was still further away than he could touch, but she was trying, her hands tightly fisted together so he couldn't see the way she was shaking. Jesus christ. "Not the reaction you were looking for, I'm just- I'm okay, I'm sorry." She nodded, then. "Yeah. Yeah, we can- I mean- Yes." Her eyes flicked to his as she nodded again. It made sense. It made sense, and didn't change anything. The last time, it'd been just before everything had come tumbling down. Now.... now it seemed the same, but it made sense.
