"Because I'm tired, this is not the ideal situation, and...I don't have anything to say to you." Which wasn't true. But, unlike him, she was a good liar. She didn't do it often, but when she did, she did it well.

He still didn't move. "Then why'd ya let me in at all, Lillian?"

"Because you showed up here, not in any state to go home, and you know I have a wounded, stray animal complex." She crossed her arms over her chest stubbornly, raising her eyebrows as she looked up at him. "Now move."

His face fell, and he still didn't move. "I'm a wounded, stray animal?"

"No, but you know what I mean. Metaphorically. You knew I wouldn't turn you away because you're all sad and drunk and my heart's too big and bleeding. Can you please move?"

"So that's it? Ya don't care about me at all, Lil?"

"I. Just want. To go. To sleep," she said, her hand slicing the air as she spoke. Now she wishe she'd never let him inside.
((I'm gonna go up to bed, but I'll post a bit from my phone!))

((k!))
His face fell again, and his eyes looked damp, but he finally moved. His voice was tight, chest constricted. "Fine. I'll leave." He turned and stormed out towards the front door.

"How are you going to get home?!" she called out after him, resisting the urge to run after him.

"What's it fuckin' matter?" He growled it. "Not like ya fuckin' care."

"Hey," she snapped, her voice stern. "Don't you dare use that tone with me! If I didn't care about you, you would've never come in here in the first place."

He whirled on her. "Ya won't even talk to me! We've been broken up a fuckin' month, Lily, and yer already movin' on! How the fuck d'ya think that makes me feel?!"

"I don't know, Tyler! I don't pretend to know how you feel when you don't tell me! I don't hear from you for six weeks, then you show up and expect me to just know that you're still in love me, or whatever you are!" she cried, her voice raised to above its normal decibel level. Her neighbors were probably not happy.

"Well I am still in love with you, goddamn it!" He almost yelled it.

"Well --" she sputtered, almost at a loss for words. Almost. "Sorry. But what can I do about it?" He probably wanted her to admit she was also still in love with him, but she didn't want to. Not to him, not to herself.
