Cats? Pine? Kylo's shoulders slumped just slightly as he heard this and shook his head. He could not understand this concept. Of course, he supposed, if Heather should disappear he would not purposefully go looking for another woman, either. He had not even gone purposefully looking for her. Easy...calm...process. Consider the feelings of someone else.
He sighed heavily and walked across the room to pin Heather where she knelt on the bed, taking her hands and gathering them up in his own larger pair.
"Never mind, then," Kylo said. "I just--can't bear to think of you sad and alone because of me. I am not worth that kind of pain."
