Ward could already feel the knot in stomach trying to tighten enough to sever him in two as he stood out in the courtyard in front of the apartments. He hadn't seen Skye in months, and he'd missed having her around. The only issue was, as soon as it had become more than apparent to him that everyone back home knew that he'd been lying to them, and worse, that his actions had kicked into a violent overdrive, he had started to dread the possibility of her turning back up. And now that possibility had turned into a reality, and he had absolutely no idea how to deal with it. He'd swung to the extreme, assuming the worst and trying to place himself at a comfortable enough distance, but that...didn't seem like it had been the right thing to do. So instead, he'd tried, delicately, to approach things as best he could.
He had been making concessions, trying to accommodate how she must feel about him now, but the idea that she was all right with being alone with him was a hard one for him to wrap his mind around. How could she be? After everything... Maybe he'd only been able to get a half explanation about what had happened, but it was enough. Enough to know that if he'd been Skye, he wouldn't want to be anywhere near him without an armed guard to make sure that he stayed at least ten feet away from her at all times.
But Skye had always been far more resilient and far more stubborn than the rest of them. This was probably just part of that.
