It wasn't the comment itself that got to her, but the whole thing was hard to explain. She was tired of not knowing where they stood, of being apart from him and not even being able to talk to him on the phone because he'd been so busy. And part of Rogue hated herself for feeling that way at all, because it wasn't fair to Tony - the things that had kept him away from her hadn't been insignificant, so she was just being silly to let it get to her so strongly.

Knowing that didn't make it any easier, though.

There had been a time that she would have jumped without question had that offer been extended to her, but that time had passed. She watched that grin move closer and her heart began to feel heavier, weighing down her spirit. "It sounds..." She wanted to make a joke, to smile at him and give him a kiss, but she couldn't chase away the frown that etched itself into her expression. Taking a deep breath, she held it for a moment before letting it out and turning to head into the plane. "I don't know how it sounds," she admitted over her shoulder, unable to look at him.
