Sonny did as he said he was going to do and listened. His hands behind his back and his head rocked forward on his shoulders so he could pay proper attention.
....he'd been right. He didn't want to hear that. At all. Marie helping Voile was good! He liked that. He would have hoped his family would be there for her during his absence. But then came the questions as to whether there was something more to it than attempts to cheer her up after a while. And that left him feeling a little betrayed. Sort of. Kind of? Yes. No? Yes.
And hadn't she asked him 'What does betrayal mean to you?'. Was she trying to tell him then? Leading in with a question to start the conversation? Or maybe just trying to figure out how he'd perceive things. Which made him wonder how he DID perceive it - for all anyone knew, he'd disappeared. What RIGHT did he even have to complain at this point? He had no clue.
Then, of course, she told him she loved him and he wanted to interrupt her so much. To tell her 'I love you too!'. Because he did, and he didn't need a year apart from her for the feeling to be stronger. He may not have said it much but he thought that actions spoke louder than words and he always tried to show it. He DID want her to be happy and to him, everything else was secondary. Maybe it wasn't simple but it was important to him.
....thinking all this and saying something coherent, however, were two different things.
Haha - Now I want to make some. XD

"...I... see...?"
A pause.
"....I don't know what to say either?"
