When she pulled the comforter down from the bed, Michael lay down on his stomach and rested his chin on his hands near the end of the bed facing her. He thought it best not to get down on the floor with her just then. She seemed to be in bad shape and considering what she said next, he decided that his being near her wasn't a good idea at all.
He tried his best to hide the shock that flitted across his face, but he hadn't exactly expected her to say something so blunt. Normally she didn't say much at all, so it certainly had an effect. He began to chew on his bottom lip to recover his face when he could think of something - anything - to say, he said, "Love, it wasn't real. If I thought you'd really do that I wouldn't be here. I know you, Lavender, and I trust you. Now you need to learn to trust yourself."
