He kisses her back first, though, and he doesn't want it to feel like an apology even though it kind of winds up that way anyway.] No, yeah, that's awesome, seriously. That'd be great, but-
[Lying here never actually lasts long. Even if you're just trying to avoid the truth, it has a way of coming out, and he knows that secrets have a cost. Not telling her now only to hear about it from someone else or from him during a flood would suck, and he doesn't want to do that to her.]

Seriously.] It's not, like, super bad, I mean, I fixed it, everything's okay, but. I kind of need to tell you something.
[And she's definitely not going to like hearing it.]
