It's not about his wants versus her needs. It has been at times, but this isn't one of them. Sean needs to get out sooner rather than later just as fully as she supposedly needs him to stay, if not more. That too, though, falls under the long list of thoughts that it will do him no good to share, so he takes a slow, raspy, centering breath and relents without actually going back on his words any.

You have me.
