He knows. He has to know. [ Don't ask him how he knows that or how he can say that with such conviction. ] He can't be so far gone that he's forgotten you or that you're trying to reach him. [ Why do I feel like she'd do anything to reach him? She has done everything to reach him. He can't just forget about her.
His fingers curl around hers as if he doesn't want to let go. He should let go; he shouldn't even be holding her hand because he's not her Alan. She'd probably rather be holding his hand anyway, and yet he can't bring himself to let go. ]
You get it, right? I love Alice, but we're not good for each other. We're not good together. [ His brow furrows in frustration as he tries to explain it to her, tries to explain how he feels. ] I don't want to drag anyone on. I don't want to drag this on. Splitting up with Alice gives her the chance to be happy.
[ I can't make her happy anymore, but maybe she'll be happy without me. Could I be happy with Jesse? It's too soon to know.
He focuses back on the present when he realizes Jesse is moving around, away from him. Her weapon appears in her hand and instantly, he's on the alert. She steps out into the hallway, and he follows a few paces behind her, but he's not quite sure what's going on. Something caught her attention, that much is obvious. ]
