The Talk | Stella & Michael
Michael kept his arms wrapped around her, to keep her close to him. This just made him feel miserable that she was in such a condition. As soon she told him she should go, he of course helped her up as much she needed him. Getting up himself, he kept walking next to her. He didn’t want to have such a situation as a few minutes ago. Michael decided not to say a word, maybe it would make it worse but he did place his hand on her back for a few seconds. Not being a total asshole and showing he did care about her, even if was obvious with the tears that every now and then still escaped from his eyes.
More than anything, Stella hated that she was going to have to be the bad guy again. That telling Michael no was going to make him hate her even more than he already did and going to sour the environment for Dean. She just... she needed Michael to see what an idiot he was being by asking for this. How it wasn't going to be good for anybody, and how it wouldn't make any difference in his own relationship with their son. She was pretty sure it was black and white to anybody who knew what was going on. The grey area would come if and when Michael decided to marry somebody else, and they would cross that bridge when they came to it. "You don't have to walk me home," she murmured, knowing very well that he would, because Michael was just a good person like that. It was one of the reasons she would never be able to hate him, she loved him too much.
