[ Tendo lets his forehead rest against hers, takes a moment to think over her question, lets it weigh in the scales of his heart.
The next words are hard to get out. Mostly because of fear. Because this isn't a can of worms but a potential viper pit that can set things back all over again and they'd only just figured out that they were okay. ] Answer me first: was it just physical [ he pulls back a little, though his hand stays where it is ] or do you have feelings for Yancy?

So its important that he asks this now. That he knows.
