The anger she once had at people (Thorfinn, it was only ever Thorfinn) reminding her that Mattias had 'died' long ago didn't have a chance to resurface as Evan apologized. Matilda quickly wiped a few loose tears away and she felt herself slumping even more. It felt like a dream, being so happy just a few minutes before. Matilda felt like she could never be happy again, and she still had no idea what exactly it was that seemed to be sucking the life out of Evan.
Maybe it was nothing, and because Evan was so used to hiding his feelings, having been caught in a state left him vulnerable and confused. Maybe he and Cecilia had broken up, maybe this was his first real heart break. Matilda wanted to believe it was something simple like that, she was nearly forcing herself to get rid of all the terrible thoughts that were swarming through his mind, to make herself believe it was simply the end of a relationship. That she could do, that she could help with.
But even in her oblivious mind, Matilda knew it was something more. Something so terrible that Evan was scared she may find out and tell people about, if she felt the need. Matilda had the strong feeling that this was not going to be something she'd ever want to speak of.
Her hand rose quickly and she stopped his from continuing over the keys, "Tell me," she said again.
