Sulking
She'd wanted him gone. So he'd left.
For two weeks, he stayed out of her life. For two weeks he tried to forget the pain on her face when she'd given up the cure to the Virus. And for two weeks he tried to stop remembering the way he'd apologized to her, looking decidedly away from her burning, angry eyes.
Then the loneliness crept in, and the desire to see her began to pull at him. He was still ashamed, still upset, and in some way still angry. At himself, maybe.
But he didn't want to avoid her gaze forever.
