[ Maybe that was a weird thing to say, but he does feel grateful, and he wants her to know that he doesn't see her as weak or just a person to make-out with. He doesn't look away from her, though he's tempted to, and he can't keep the regret from his voice. ]
[She certainly doesn't believe he thinks either of those things--just like how she hopes that he doesn't believe that she doesn't actually want him. She wants him--the real him--so much.]
...I know. And...I'm staying right here. With you.
[ He doesn't even want to think of her not wanting him or leaving him. As twisted as that thought process was, he still remembers it. Hearing her say that makes him crack a small, sad smile and pull her hand against his chest. ]
I won't go anywhere, either... So you don't need to worry about me. [ Like last time... ]
[ Clinging to her hand is good enough for him. It's hard to stay calm when she's like this, though. He bites his lip and scoots a little closer to her and her embrace. ]
Thanks... You know that wasn't me... [ Maybe he still has some denial left in him, though his voice shakes. ] I wouldn't do any of that...and you're the last person I'd do that to...
I won't go anywhere... [ He relaxes a little, almost ready to sleep again. His head is pounding from the memories of the day that he wants them to forget. It's a promise when he says he won't leave her, though. ]
[ He tilts his head up to give her room before cuddling back into hers. She should relax, too, and he feels a little bad that he can really almost fall asleep now.
Maybe things can just get better in time, he thinks. It wasn't really him, so...Yeah. His thumb strokes the back of her hand. ] Good...
[A terrible nightmare...It'd be better if it could be that way, but Rita knows it isn't. She just huddles right up against him to put them in as much contact as possible.]

[And with that, she shifts up against him, just to be close and hold him.]
