Lacey laughed a little through her tears. "Maybe you did. Just a little." What had always plagued her was whether or not the whole thing was true. He never had a chance to explain that, really. Did he date her just to get in better with that horrible group she was involved with, or did he truly love her? Him being here, though, and acting the way he was... Why the hell would he if he hadn't meant at least a portion though, right? That look in his eyes explained it all. What may have started out as a lie... the feelings were true. "You had a job to do though." She looked down, taking that opportunity to tear her glance away. "You couldn't help that."
"I just wish I could have seen you sooner. After it all. Not... 4 years later." That was the only thing she regretted: Not being able to get in contact with him. Four years was a little late. For all this, and to tell him about Andrea. She had to. Maybe she would today. Maybe she wouldn't. Either way, he had to know soon.
