[His gaze tracks the quiet motion and he's almost inclined to an affectionate smile if this hadn't obviously landed so poorly. It was strikingly clear to Chris how much Kim loved his man. Had been early on in their friendship...to have it all come crashing down so harshly now after so much time was...painful enough to watch. He couldn't imagine living it.
Chris offers a hand out on the table, palm up and open should Kim want it without any pressure of taking it intended.]
No, you're likely right. He'd have called it a lie of omission and rightly so. Likely it's not lost on him that you honored your word and told the truth...that likely makes it a little easier to work with. Or...perhaps harder. If you'd lied, he'd have simply had every right to be angry with you. Instead, I imagine it simply hurts.
But...now he's gone and hurt you too. Did he let you explain all that's happened? How long you've been here and waited?
[Not that it would have perhaps made things easier, but it was still important to know. It said something to Will's character.]
