"That would suck for everyone who has helped me--that's a lot of people." Ellie felt as if Henry had through his discomfort said he wanted some space so she moved back a little more than she would have liked. She knew that Henry on paper was lawfully wedded to her but in truth they barely knew each other and she didn't know for sure whether her feelings were returned in the way she wanted. She did want to be with him in a strange way, but not physically just have renewed closeness. She craved his company even though she knew she was practically a child in his eyes. Her feelings had been bottled up for so long. She did want to know him better, but his story and past did feel problematic at time which made her recoil involuntarily.
She wondered that if she felt this strongly in a panic induced state, would she have pursued him if she had been back at the height of her career and well and whole?
