Well, that's heart-breaking and, when she sits up, he can't help but feel a
little bit disappointed. Keys lives alone and, when he'd lost Millie
(through his own stupidity, really), he'd also lost the only person in
Seattle who really touched him with any regularity. Sure, there had been
hookups, a few short-lived girlfriends, even, but nothing regular. Nothing
that lasted. He hates the thought of someone making her feel like that.
"I think we're all kind of learning how to be people sometimes," he says,
and he reaches out with his free hand, brushing his knuckles against her
upp arm. "You're not making me uncomfortable. Honestly."
