- Sterling could tell she was pissed, and he really didn't want her to come any closer to him. He hadn't planned on ever seeing her again, so him leaving hadn't exactly been emotional, for him at least. "Hey... Good- Good for you, right? You've always wanted to be an actress.." He said, nervously taking a few slow steps back as she approached. He looked down at her, a little worried she might hit him. He wouldn't be surprised if she did, but that didn't make him feel any better.
He opened his mouth to reply, but she continued talking, so he slowly closed it, his mind racing as he thought of an explanation. The truth would be best, he supposed. Swallowing, Archer stepped back a bit, holding his hands up as if surrendering. "Look, just ca-calm down, alright? I'm sorry I hurt you, but the truth is, I saw an opportunity for myself and took it. I know I left you behind, but honestly, I didn't think we were gonna last much longer. I also didn't think you'd ever end up here. I just figured... I'd end up leaving you at some point anyway."
