Anthony stayed silent, partly because of not knoeing even what to say, and partly because he didm't want to say anything more. As soon as he had basically confessed, he had already fallen into the anxiety of thinking it was a mistake.As Elijah turned away, Anthony was unsure of whether to follow him or just stay where he was, so he just took a few uncertain steps forward. Part of him was afraid this would just be another thing that they would say and then pretend they never said, while part of him hoped this was going to be an...actual thing. "I guess we both could."
