Something feels weird, even before he releases her. It's like she's not kissing him back. Or doesn't want to be. Was he supposed to be more passionate? Should they be fucking? Was he just supposed to leave? Sit on the couch and have playful banter?
Fuck.
Well, there had been one flickering moment when he thought he'd done something right, but he's on the other side of the slope, and the affect and silence definitely gives the vibe that she wants him to fuck off. Sweeney sits back, managing a small smile and an accepting nod before standing.
"A'right." Another a quick smile and bow of his head are offered, as if it would make things better again.
"Thank you." Rare words offered in utter sincerity.
"Fer yer trust."
Sweeney's not going to force her to sit there and nod at him more, so he turns and gets to the fucking off.
She did kiss back, though it wasn't with the sort of energy that she usually would if he wasn't planning on going anywhere; when she could have him selfishly all to herself. To disappear into the sheets and feel him in and around her.
But he wasn't staying and this wasn't a kiss that would lead to any of that. So, she didn't hold on any longer than he wanted her to. Laura smiles back, but it doesn't reach her eyes. Instead, there was worry and a flicker of panic in them.
"You're welcome," Laura replies, her tone barely above a whisper as she continues to spin her ring.
As she watches him leave, she stops and takes it off for the night, leaving behind a raw and angry red band underneath it.
