( Jonathan shrugs, not really sure this is something that's even going to come across well, but he might as well say it. Does he really have all that much to lose at this point? )

I wish we could've been able to talk everything out. But I guess there wasn't much I could say at that point that could make it better.

( Even if he and Nancy hadn't actually done anything, and even if the pictures weren't just of Nancy, Steve had every right to be angry at him. Nancy was partially to blame, sure, but Jonathan could have maybe done more to nudge her back to Steve.

Even worse, after everything a part of him still wished it had been Steve that had been kind and comforted him, even thought he knew there was no part of Steve that would have done such a thing, at least not without Nancy's help. Steve saw what he wanted to see. )
