I wouldn't go claimin' it was because it's you.
[ she shakes her head, but meets his eyes again. there's a melancholy tinge to her demeanor, but not something she wants to actively let slip. ]
This bed has been empty for a while now. If I was so opposed to wakin' up with you, I wouldn't have invited you in the first place.

It's just— different now. I have to adjust to something else.
