There's a part of Tim that, despite how in love he is, despite how much he wants to hold onto this at all costs, just wants to walk away. He doesn't deserve a lot, but he thinks he at least deserves the truth. Matt can't even tell him why he doesn't deserve that.

But he can't. He can't walk away. Not from Matt, not from them. Not from whatever secret Matt is keeping. He won't get the answer today, but he'll get it eventually. One way or another.

And maybe he'll wreck this relationship trying to do so, but hell, Matt already got that ball rolling. Tim will be just finishing the job.

"Okay," he says, his voice low and subdued. "Right. You're sorry. I gotta go back to work. Call me if you feel like talkin'."

He heads for the door without waiting for Matt's response, but stops short just outside the bedroom. He should just go. Nice and clean, making it perfectly clear that he's very not happy. Instead, he says, "Or if you need anything."

This isn't over. They're not over.
