Well, he'd thought his saying that her boyfriend might show up here would be comforting, a stark contrast to the way he's beating himself over the head with a brick in his mind. But her response says that's not the case. He'd also thought his letting her get back to herself was a good idea now that they'd put their cards on the table. Again, apparently not the case.

Apparently his 'I'm so dumb' look looks... angry face? Who would have thunk it? Cause there's nothing about Alcide that's angry right now and he hadn't thought he'd been projecting that at all. Is he beating himself up? Yes. Is he angry? No. Most people have no problem knowing when he's angry cause it's very obvious and Alcide will let them know about it.

"Wait. What?" He asks, suddenly very confused. Hopefully his confused face doesn't look angry too. "Didn't say I didn't have a girlfriend. Think I just told you I did. Why do you think I'm angry?" He shakes his head. "I'm not. Thought I was helpin'..." He waves a hand at the space between them. "...this, between us."
