[He can't disagree, only because of what he isn't telling her. Part of him thinks it would be safer to warn her off, here and now. The other is all too aware of exactly where honesty has gotten him so far.
For all that, he can't agree with the sentiment, either. Six years, near enough for both of them, only split across two different dimensions (and that he can think that without blinking is perhaps testament to a mindset different to the one she knew before).]
Come on. We've got at least a couple of years in common.
[And if he sounds just a little too needy there it's because there has to be some kind of connection, surely? He can't have her back, of course, he shouldn't even think that (though he can't help wondering—) but to pretend she's unfamiliar is too much to ask.]
We know what might have happened. Not what will.
[It's better than nothing, though there's good and bad in that.]
