"That's why I didn't want to talk about this. I didn't want you to think I was unhappy. I just need time." That was all it was going to take, he was sure. At least, he'd convinced himself of that fact. His hand stayed where it was, resting against her back as he spoke.
"Like...okay, there was the thing with Robin. And I get that he pisses people off, but he was a kid. I couldn't believe you let that get you that upset. It made no sense to me. You can be so confident, so sexy one minute, and the next you're meek and upset and saying you need to drink your troubles away." Some of it hadn't been her at all, he was sure it was his commitment phobic mind looking for things that weren't there.
