If he had been there, hadn't stolen that piece of candy. If things had been different, maybe they'd be okay again.
"Not really, no." He listened quietly, trying to refocus again. It sounded like a funny song. Maybe he would have to see this Monty Python...something. Maybe it would be funny and distracting like pillow fights.
