Rachel's eyes closed tightly as Jaime finished speaking, her head a jumbled mess. What had happened to them? When had they devolved to this - the sneaking, the accusations, the lack of communication? They'd never been this couple. Sure, they'd had the occasional misunderstanding, but never like this. Never to this level.
"I'm sorry," She said softly, without opening her eyes. This had gotten out of hand, and she wanted him to know that she understood. For the most part. "I shouldn't have overreacted. I know that's not you; you're not the type to avoid your family so that you can spend hours drowning your sorrows at some bar. I was just... I was worried, okay? The kids were essentially alone for at least an hour, and something terrible could have happened. I worry about them. I worry about you. You can't just not tell me these things, Jaime. Not when their well being and yours are all involved."
There are certain things she didn't touch on. Like the fact that his powers seemed to not be functioning correctly. She knew how all of their abilities worked by now - they were directly connected to their emotions. If his powers didn't work, then there had to be a part of him that just didn't want to be home yet. What other reason was there?
Then there was the fact that she knew he wasn't being truthful about his lack of sleep. She'd slept in the same bed as him for years - she was very aware that, at the beginning, he'd had trouble staying asleep, but that that particular problem had faded away over the years. For a long time, she could tell when he got up, and about how long he was gone. It was a skill acquired through familiarity, and honed with having to young twins in the house. Sure, she'd been significantly less aware lately, but between the show and rehearsals for the Tonys, it was understandable that she slept a little sounder than usual. Still, she knew something had triggered that habit once again - it hadn't always been there.
She didn't have the energy to deal with it today, though. They were well on there way to okay, for right now, and she didn't want to bring up something that would likely have them fighting right up until she had to leave. It just wasn't worth it.
"If you want to sing, Jaime, or just get away for awhile, please don't let me stop you. I just want to know, okay? That's all."
