No one seemed to have anything else. Connor thanked her and them, they had done little, but apparently it had been enough. There was a definite change in Connor's emotions. Still deep loss, but no more desperation and grief.
Aria tried not shrink back from Connor when he started walking towards her. Thanking her from afar was good enough, and then he put his hand on her arm. It was not meant to be anything but friendly, but Aria was tired, her mind was already fighting the waking world on empty.
She closed her eyes focused on not falling over before she took a step back pulling her arm out of his light grip. It came out nothing but a whisper, "Please don't do that.
Aria looked down embarrassed. "Nothing personal."
Anytime anyone said that it was personal, but it wasn't in that particular sense. Aria hadn't wanted to know how much appreciation he felt towards her, she hadn't wanted to feel anything he hid deep down, that even he didn't know he felt. She didn't want to fell anything.
Aria backed away and towards the door. "I have to go.
There was little she could explain right now. Aria quickly opened the door and hurried outside. She hadn't remembered how many floors they had gone up. The elevator could not come quick enough.
