(The fact that she doesn't hit him makes him even more angry. What? Is he so frail and damaged that he doesn't even warrant a hit? He childishly worms his way out of her hold, a small sneer on his face.
Although he's been spared a punch to the face from Diamond Lil, he's upset. She never should have seen him like this; maybe a few weeks later when he looked more like himself and he could write off the face, but not now. Instead of actually telling her his feelings, how much he's missed her, how all he wanted to do for all that time was lie in the sun with her and hold her, he couldn't.
Cross clams up even more, acting as if he's the offended party.)
Well, you've seen me. And you can still keep your promise.
