Chris placed the last of her things on the floor. She didn't really need him for moving in. She could have just used magic to move the heavy things, if she had any heavy lifting to do. It wasn't like she moved all of the furniture, and she moved to Alex's place. The guy already had a bed for her to use, and everything necessary for a house. She only needed to move her things and a few pieces if she wanted, but he did say she could leave them at his place and take once she settled in an apartment of her own.
Not that Chris liked the idea. He knew she needed to move on, now that everyone knew their secret. She couldn't just stay at home, she needed to have one of her own, a life of her own also. But it still hurt to know she left because of what they said about her. He felt like he was responsible, that she was leaving him. She did say she needed some distance. Since they were not dating, what does distance meant? To him, it was just her way of saying he was no longer a friend she wanted in her life. He did not believe in distance helping a relationship. If you couldn't settle things between the two of you without no longer seeing yourselves for a while, it just meant you wanted to break ties but were afraid to admit it. He felt like ANNIKA BENNETT wanted to break ties.
He didn't want to give her an attitude but it was hard. He felt as though he was looking at the end of their relationship and not only that, he was helping her move out. Okay, she moved to his lover's place while Alex stayed at his, but he was still doing something very masochistic in his mind, and he was not into that sort of thing. "You've looked around the place, got yourself accustomed to it?" he asked. he was avoiding her gaze. If this was the end, might as well not dwell on it too much. She chose and he had nothing to say about it. "Need anything else?"
