[ The last thing she wants is for him to leave, it's about time she admits it to herself. It's been so long since she'd seen his eyes on hers so... calmly. He may be wary now, but he's empty of the hate she'd come to expect in every snatched glance. They don't see eye-to-eye much, literally or metaphorically. Too busy trying to find ways to hurt each other. Her own anger feels a little lost with nothing to feed it, and finishes draining away. The sadness under that, always present under that, remains.

There's no need for the professional mask, and regret comes to bear plainly over her face.
