"I'm fine."

He's not. He's about as far from fine as it's possible to be, without bleeding out all over everything. But when she says that she heard what happened, he assumes she's talking about Ellie being gone. Even if she wasn't, it's not something he wants to talk about. It's not something he wants to say aloud. Admitting it will just make it more real, and he doesn't need that.

He picks up a tray, offers it to her. Cookies. Beth gave them to him, he hasn't touched them.
