The second the three words came from his mouth, he wished he could take them back. Not because he regretted it, but because he could have said it better... with more finesse. Admittedly, it had been a question, because he had never really thought about what he wanted before now, but this was fairly clear. The one thing that had put a spanner in the works for him this term so far, was her. And now, when it seemed like that wouldn't be a concern for him any longer, he wasn't ready to let go of it. He liked her. How much? It was hard to tell, or too soon to tell, but there was time... maybe.

He still wasn't able to look away, so his eyes locked on hers as she appeared to wait for his response.

"I like you," he repeated more confidently now that the words didn't sound so foreign. Did she hear it that time? No question implied!

Her reaction to his words had probably not been the best one. But it had been a legit question. There was no need for her to start thinking about this when all he'd done was test out how some words sounded when said out loud. That really wasn't worth her time. So she did wait. Wait for him to reply. Or do something at least.

And there they were again.

Without the questioning tone.

Maggie's nose twitched slightly but she simply remained sitting there, looking right back at him. Trying to search his eyes for something that would make more sense. Or would tell her what all of this meant. Was this his excuse for acting the way he'd acted? How was that....why was that.....she blinked again. It didn't make any sense that that would be the reason why he'd left her.

Only somehow it DID make sense.

Which was even more confusing.

She still wasn't sure what to say, however, so eventually she broke eye contact and looked down at the grass, running her fingers over it softly. "So....why are you telling me this?" Maggie glanced back up for a second, then down again. "Like, to what end?" What was it that he wanted to achieve here?
