“I suspected.” Mike admits. His free hand twitches at his side, picking nervously at his frayed cuff. “I guess I didn’t… know. Not exactly. But…” he draws back slightly, feeling that he needs to look her in the eye. “At the same time, I kinda did. Does that make sense?”

Everyone except Mike, that is. He's the heart, right? He's keeping it together.
