He just slumped down, hands still shaking.

"I'm sorry as well. But I can't...

He stayed as impassive as he could.

He tried to show nothing, but his hands started shaking involuntarily.

He gave no outward response, though internally it hurt him to hurt her.
-
He seemed entirely unaffected.

He made no sound or motion.

"But you can't trust me."

Terrance watched her, not seeing was she saw but feeling her terror. I'm sorry.
