Shit. He pretty much visibly deflates, and he wants so much to hold her but he knows she'll never let him.

"I wasn't able to handle this yesterday. That's why I needed you there, but I wouldn't --"

He needs her to understand this. "I swore I wasn't going to sit passively and watch anyone die, Anita. I can't be that person anymore."

And she had taken that from him. She could have at least told him what was going on, kept him from getting blindsided by it. But -- isn't it over now? Even Thomas is backing off. Reeve's never been one to hold onto grudges on principle. It's a waste of time and energy. And maybe he's weak, but he can't hold one against her too.

"I love you, too." Very, very softly. "I miss you." Like hell, and it's been one day.
