"Oh, I can think of a lotta reasons," he says, his voice leaning a bit bemused, but not much. "And I wouldn't begrudge you any of 'em, don't worry."

This is too familiar and any more signs they're alike and Blake is going to start making some heavy assumptions. It's not even that he thinks Jayden doesn't want to spend time with him, but after everything they'd been through and all they've shared, it seems obvious enough that the both of them need a lot of thinking room to tear themselves down in the hopes of building back something stronger, something less transparent.
"You don't gotta decide now, anyway," Blake reasons, mostly because he'd have to pretend up the boxes to pretend up furniture, and that doesn't suit either of them. "But— some time." He snaps his fingers in an effort to tear the personal touch from his invitation. "We can celebrate when you get your business goin'."
