He walked into the living room and took a seat on the couch. White waited until she was in there too and was quiet for a few moments, thinking hard. "... Why didn't you tell me you were going to leave?" He asked her curiously.

Lilly followed him in and then took a seat on the couch opposite of him. She took in a deep breath, and shrugged her hoodie off and her bag, putting them on the cushion by her. She didn't know how to fully answer, since it was full of holes that could trigger anger. She sighed, and answered, "My handwriting isn't legible and you were angry...I thought I was saving you a phone call. You said you were sending me back, and you said you were against slavery...So I know that if I just left, and if you didn't call anyone, you'd get what you want." And I'd go back to being alone and unhappier.

"I was thinking about it though... I hadn't decided on whether I was really going to send you back or not." White replied quietly, he was calm now, being so angry before had made him mello down completely again. "And anyways... You worried me, I didn't want you to get hurt or kidnapped or anything, if that happened I wouldn't know what I would do..."

Lilly was silent, unsure how to respond, so she just waited for the next question, if there was one. So far, it was pretty easy. She stared at her lap, watching her fingers rub against each other nervously.

White was quiet to for a while and then closed his eyes, "Do you want to leave me?"

Lilly sunk in the couch, frowning. SHe didn't like this question. It was complex, but she just went with an overall answer anyways. "Not really." she asnwered softly, glacning up at him, then back to her lap.

"Good, because i'm keeping you here with me." He told her blankly and stood up from the couch, looking down at her. "Do you have anything to say to me about any of this?" White questioned her.

"No." she mumbled, still staring at her lap. Lilly didn't know what to say that would make her feel better. Not even 'i'm sorry' could remedy her guilt right now. She stared at his feet.

"Get up and go to bed, we'll apologize to each other in the morning." White told her and then walked upstairs and went into his room, shutting his door very gently behind him.

Lilly waited till she was sure he was asleep to turn off the lights downstiars and curl up on the couch, similar to how she had in the log. Her shoes were neatly set on the ground by her bag, so she didn't get as much dirt on the couch. She cried herself to sleep.

The next day he was up at four in the morning and in the kitchen, brewing himself coffee and reading the paper from the day before.

Lilly was still asleep for another hour. SHe woke up and went to the kitchen, and saw that White was up. She was silent, watching him for a moment, then turned to make herself something to eat.

White looked at her for a moment then down once again. "Good morning." He said politely to her and turned the page of the paper he was reading.

"Morning." she mumbled quietly and opened the fridge. Lilly glanced at him from over her shoulder, then returned to looking at the fridge. She pulled out an apple, then shut the fridge and took a seat opposite of White, eating as silently as she could. It felt very awkward. She opened her mouth a few times to say something, then shut it, deciding that waht she was about to say wasn't good enough. Finally, around 5:30, she stared at her apple core, and said slowly, "I'm sorry."

"So am I." He replied and set down his newspaper to look at her quietly, he was frowning a little since he felt so bad for making her feel like she had to leave. "I want you to stay here with me... And i'll try hard to not get upset so easily at you and i'll also try to understand how you feel." White told her truthfully.
