[Riding the train was definitely not fun - and honestly, him flying from place to place wasn't entirely safe, either - so he understood somewhat.]

I know... sorry. [He gives her an apologetic smile - whether that was why she was really upset or not, he still felt a little bad.

And then, of course, 'Can't you figure that out yourself?' makes him pause. Truthfully, no. No, he could not. And that was causing a very slight uncertainty in his mind. If she wasn't latching onto his hand so tightly, he'd just pull her close - maybe she wanted to cuddle.

After some thought, he decided it had to be at least partially because of him getting sweaty from working out.]

Okay, yeah, I should probably shower real quick. You can shower after me, if you'd like. [He almost suggests she just shower with him - it makes it easier on both of them and also would maybe help her mood somewhat. But he decides it's less risky to take turns.

He leans over to plant another kiss on her lips, before standing and reluctantly releasing her hand.]

I'll be right back, okay? Promise.
