"Are you sure? Do you - do you want me to leave, if I do quickly and quietly, the servants might not know that anything ever happened!!" He doesn't say it because he wants to go, in fact that's the furthest thing from his mind. But if anything can make this situation better for her, he'll do it.
"Oh please do not! Please do not think it is easy when you have gone."
Not the lonely living with more servants than a fledgling knows what's to be done with. Damn Carlos. Damn the vanity of maintaining a house she'd as soon as burn to the ground than expose another soul to living with its memories. She hugs herself. "I missed you."
If that's the case, he's sorry he even mentioned it. She shouldn't have to hug herself, his arms should be around her instead, and within no more than a moment, they are. "So have I. I...wanted to apologise for how long it has been."
And now maybe he should also be apologising for coming back this way.
