Connor stood there for a moment before making himself turn around and head toward the door. He hesitated for a moment and then with a quick glance over his shoulder, he walked out and closed and locked the door behind him.

Once he was out in the hallway, Connor leaned against the door and took a slow shaky breath. "Love you too..." he whispered softly, the conflicting feelings and emotions washing over him all over again as he slowly made the short trek across the hallway to his own flat.
