[ It's now or never and although he was hoping that some time would push that towards now rather than never, Reid really doesn't feel like he's ready. He feels raw and exhausted and although he's pushed himself to go out and get some clothes that aren't borrowed from Karev's closet, he's so not in a place where public announcements are possible.

But he has to. Now or never. Movements dull, he reaches for the communicator. ]

...░m back. [ A stretch of static-y silence. ] I'm so░▒y.

	[ Is he though? Did he really come back? ] I can't say it, but... [ But he's also not sure it hasn't changed. ] I just need time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That you...? [Honestly confused for the moment and then it clicks.] That you love me. [And it hurts again. Because before she could have just written it off as not wanting to tell her before he was honest about everything. But now? Now he's telling her he can't admit to loving her?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not that I don't, it's just... [ Deep breath. ] ...trying to fit a year and a half into what we had here. Have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She really, really, really would have liked it if he'd just stayed. She's not sure what advice to give him here, but she can pass on what she's been holding on to for the last few days.] Keep walking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not much. He took me back to his place. Lent me some clothes... we talked, but other than that I didn't really do anything. [ Cried. A lot. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
