He's standing there as still as a statue, only breathing when he needs to talk, not even bothering to blink. Just look at her. He's hit a deep nerve. He could keep going, provoke her into the fight she is so desperately trying to resist. If he dies what does it matter? He will be back in three days and she will still have to live with the consequences. But he thinks he knows why she's holding back. It's the same reason he doesn't believe she'll tell Max any of this. It would crush Max. And who would ever want to be responsible for that?
