She just stared at him for a long moment, her mind going over his words and she couldn't think straight. She hadn't expect him to say those things, she never expected him to be so straight-forward about any of it.

After a long moment she looked down and shook her head slightly, "I can't," she told him quietly. She wanted to tell him she was sorry and that she wanted to believe what he was saying, but she couldn't give them both hope and put them through something that she knew it would end.

And she had almost lost him once, now that she might have his friendship back, she wanted at least that much.

Chloe mumbled something quietly and shook her head, still looking down.
