He wouldn't come back to finish this. She knew the moment he refused to meet her eyes. He was hiding again. For all his talk he wasn't ready to change. The girl gave him an easy excuse and he took it. This was why she never gave much weight to talk.
Alicia knew when she was being dismissed. Probably for the best. He had forced this conversation before she was ready then made it about him. She didn't want to demean his character. They had been friends once, even if it had been a long time since they've honestly acted like it. With so much going on this was a conversation better forgotten about. To apologize would be a lie and he wasn't likely to want another round of this. They'd figure it out or they wouldn't. The next move was on him.
Without another word she left. A goodbye didn't seem appropriate.
