Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Snape hadn't noticed her closeness until she stepped away. Then, finally, it had come out. What he had been waiting to hear.

I thought...rather stupidly...that Archie's feelings for me would be enough. They were not... He thought upon her words, a look of deep concentration upon his face until his thoughts lingered on just one part: whom I felt that equally strong bond toward too. Snape was not so blind as to not notice Archie's love for Marcella despite her choice to be with himself. "I don't think it was Archie's feelings which weren't enough," he said, putting a hand on either of her shoulders, not sure if he should embrace her.
