Ben laid there for a long while, allowing them to drown in the silence. Usually it would've been easy for him to drift off to sleep but, tonight, he had a million thoughts running through his mind.
"I love you, Izzy," he finally mumbled.
He did not intend to apologize. Not yet, at least, but he did not want to fight right now. He hated fighting... especially when he was fighting with her.
So what if she went out of town. He'd be left to his own devices and working as much as he did always kept him away from his friends, too. He could always spend the time with them. It wasn't like he would be alone.
