He might have left it at that, if they hadn't both been parked at the record store. If they hadn't both had a walk back in the same direction. "You're clearly not fine," he said, and it would be easy to interpret the walk back to his car as following her. "You're not a very good liar, either."
Not about this, anyway.
"If you didn't want something, we wouldn't be here like this, would we?" Angry at each other, again, arguing in a parking lot and looking for all the world like an actual couple and not a professor and his student. "We can't keep doing this, this -- I try to do something, and you want more." The gulf between the inch he gave and the mile she seemed to want. "It's not enough that we spend time together, it has to be a date, you say I should kiss you, you keep pushing and throwing tantrums when I don't give way."
There was probably a more diplomatic way to phrase that.
"What am I supposed to do on Thursday? Pretend nothing happened, business as usual, while you pout? Try to be nice and have you flirting again? Because I'm not happy about either of those, but only one of them is going to get me fired." His eyes were still blue, a clear sign that he wasn't actually angry; he was just frustrated, sick of talking past each other.
"You keep saying you understand, but every time I say something that isn't what you want to hear you take it as a personal insult. Do you think I like doing this? Do I sound happy to you?"
