But then she surprised him. She stopped right in front of him. He took a step back after she did... just to double the space between them. He tilted his head to the side and looked her up and down. He could walk away now. He probably should walk away.
But he didn't. She must have been having some kind of internal battle with telling him... and he wasn't going to disregard that it must be hard for her to be standing there. At least... he thought it was hard for her based on how hard it was for him to be there.
"I'm sorry." he said shaking his head. "I... just couldn't..."
He absentmindedly kicked a pebble at his feet. He wasn't sure how exactly to word exactly the decision he'd reached recently. Maybe he'd just tell her he needed a break... from her, from Marie, from Marilyn... and just from magic in general? But he still had a twinge of pride that wouldn't allow him to admit that.
Finally he sighed and just repeated. "I just couldn't."
Caroline finally looked up at him in the eyes. She blinked a few times. With a small nod.
"I... I.. understand. I thought that I'd at least tell you about it.But you really should let the way things ended with us get in the way of what you want." She shiffled a bit but that was all. But there was some thing else wrong she could tell. She dared not to ask but in the the end she opened her mouth.
"A-are you okay?" She tried to say it in a other-than-we're-not-together-anymore- are you okay tone. Yeah now this was going to be a long drawn out thing now. She could decide if she wanted it to last forever the two of them standing there or if she just wanted it all to end now before this worst. She knew that this was a bad idea.
