"Thanks for the company, Lilie. I'm sorry I... rambled a bit." Leon knew he should have just kept quiet about Mickey, shouldn't have started talking about him because really, he could go on and on. And it was over. No matter how much he still felt for him, the fact remained that Mickey had walked away, couldn't handle the fact that he couldn't give up Andrei, and Leon was left to pick himself up without Mickey's help.
It hurt too much to hide and the pain was written in Leon's green-brown eyes when he finally looked at Lilie again and moved to stand. "I'll see you around."
