Motioning for her to go ahead, he'll follow her in.]
I missed her so much, but then I think about what we went through and everything gets confusing again.
[The room is lit by a small, dim lamp, but gives no detail as to its owner. Alex closes the door behind them, and reaches for Stef's hand.]
Hey, hey, it's fine. You're allowed to be confused about this. You don't have to rush into knowing her again, not before you get everything figured out.

[And ex-girlfriends who still probably love you a lot.]
I get why you didn't. I mean, you had a lot of shit in your head.
