And she did, so, he was in trouble. His answer would probably just make things worse actually. Wrapping his arms around her, a small sincere smile played across his face as he shook his head, wondering why she was apologizing. She shouldn’t need to apologize, but she was probably waiting for an answer still. "I…did. Oui." He said quietly, pulling back from the hug and glancing at the counter top before his gaze moved back to Rhea. Best leave it at that. Continuing would just, make it into an even bigger mess. Technically, he didn’t lie though.
As she felt his arms wrap around her she relaxed a bit and gently squeezed him, her face buried into the small of his shoulder. His answer though caused her to stiffen for a moment. Her eyes moved up to meet his and she held his gaze for a little bit. Right. He was honest and really that was all she wanted.
Now they could move on like nothing had really happened, she supposed. As she took a step back, she buried her hands in her pocket.
" thank you...for being completely honest with me, to me, its the best virtue to have." she sighed, but it wasn't one of those fml ones. Finally after weeks of harbouring all those confusing and conflicting feeling, she felt lighter. She was still slightly sad but a a lot better.
" I think Cosette is very lucky." she said smiling at him.
" you're a great guy"
