Jemma had little choice but to look in his eyes. If she didn't he was likely to shake her or something and her head would explode. "That doesn't mean there is no need for apologies..." she pointed out.
As he went on to reminding her they were best mates she smiled, albeit a little sadly. "I know- and thank you- mean- ditto, obviously. But... you wouldn't lash out at me that way- or you don't at least. I'm not saying you're not allowed. I just feel terrible for when I'm like that." She hadn't meant to get emotional on him in any way. A distant apology had been her goal and like most things in this arena, she failed.
