"Well, if you really don't want any company, I can go? But just remember something - we're friends! So, even if something has changed or something bad has happened, I'm here if you need to talk about it!"

He did his best to keep smiling for her. Even if he felt a little stung by her wanting to be left alone, that wasn't the point. She was the one dealing with... whatever it was she was dealing with. He had to respect that and be supportive anyway!
