I know. I know. [Hell was probably never going to give him the time to really process everything, but at the very least he could make sure he was honest with Jesper as well.] I promise I'll be more honest with you.

I should have from the beginning. [He says as he slowly rubs Jesper's hand with this thumb.] I'm sorry I wasn't truthful with how I was feeling.

[He just felt trapped in an impossible situation where he couldn't quite be honest because if he was... would things come crashing down around him? Would he lose Jesper? He didn't want to think about the outcome of something like that, so he's glad that Jesper came to see him.]

Do you...want to stay? [He sounds almost scared of the answer, but also hopeful.]
