[even though she was playing cool, he could sense she was pretty upset by her tone and posture... The somewhat cold smile was a give away, too. He sighed a bit, scooting a little closer to her and raising a hand tentatively to scratch her back]

I thought you might be. I didn't want you thinking the wrong thing. I can tell you're still disappointed though....I'm sorry.

[he looked down a bit, feeling rather terrible. He hated letting her down and sometimes it felt like he did that more than he made her happy. He'd felt pretty excited about the advances they were making lately but at some point he had to remind himself that such things probably weren't as satisfying for her]

I'm kinda a bad boyfriend, huh...
