Poe certainly didn't have the words. Not in the face of that. Not how he was - weak, tired, and just back from the brink of death. The weeks between them darted away like dust, and left his heart wrenching.
He tried to wet his lips but his mouth was too dry to allow it. It was meant as a stalling tactic, to let him think up a smart, witty reply that would cement the wall between them and keep it there. But instead his hand just lay in Finn's, and he was silent, for too long.
"... I missed you, too," finally came the quiet admission.
