I didn't mean to call you poor. I just wanted to make sure everyone had fun with the holiday.
[ she hasn't said it, but the apology is there in her tone, quiet and subdued and even a little... ashamed.
there's a strange pause, almost as if she wants to say something else, maybe about all the things he'd said... but in the end she just does as he fears and walks away again. ]
