Henry was not avoiding Ronan, exactly, but he was incredibly aware of where he was in the apartment and the fact that the taller boy was watching him like this little get together would be better if Henry had volunteered his place and then left.

"I'm glad you came," Henry said, and he meant that, even if Ronan didn't believe him.
