sometimes my excitement is too extra

[ Nate can't help it when his eyes seem to zero in on the way she twists the ring on her finger, remembering the threat of her words only a handful of minutes ago and bracing himself for the possibility that she might really do it. He isn't sure how he'd react.

Probably not well.

At least now he can properly run a hand across his face, partly in frustration at himself, and partly in fear, because he isn't even sure what he wants to say. He isn't sure what he can say to fix this, to make everything okay again, and that's really all he wants right now.

Eventually, all he can do is glance away from her, away from the twist of her wedding band, at the gloves and his mask on the ground between their feet.

No, for the first time he's really out of words. ]
