[Far as he was concerned he was seeing a ghost. He takes a deep
breath before letting it out as she steps closer. A part of him wants to
turn and leave, but instead moves over and runs a hand lightly down along
her arm.
He feels like he can't breathe and his chemosignals are all over the place.
She was really there.]
So it seemed better to get the basics from him. At least as kind of a primer for moving here. Not that I'm looking to get involved in any wars, but when you move back to a war zone. [Paige held still when his hand slid along her arm, aside from a slow inhale.]
[A part of him isn't sure if getting the basics from his uncle was a
good thing or not. Maybe going into this blind would've been better. He
lets out a breath that he doesn't realize he's holding.]
Considering the last time I saw you, Paige, I still needed to make sure.
What do we do from here?
"I keep teaching my class and you decide if you want to ignore me or get to know me again, Derek. It's not that complicated, even if it seems that way.
I'll respect your decision, whatever it turns out to be."
It was more complicated than what she thought. Nothing was easy for a Hale,
much less one that had held his dead girlfriend. He couldn't make Paige see
just how complicated it was or what he'd gone through. Instead of saying
anything about it, though, he gives her a small smile," I couldn't ignore
you, Paige."
That's not something that he'd ever be able to do. Not to Paige. Never to
her.

I don't know if I would've or not.
