[with hayley so close, it takes a moment for him to remember that she's meant to be the one setting the pace. that he was the one who almost messed everything up in the first place. he wants to be the one taking though. wants to close the short space between them. and with his gaze slipping to her mouth, it's all too clear just what's really at the forefront of his mind just then.]
And that's a problem because...?
[before, he may have agreed. back when he'd felt the need to hide just how close the two of them had been getting. back when he knew how the rest of his pack would react. but that was before. that was a time when he hadn't been entirely sure of what to think of hayley himself. when he'd still been caught between not caring about her, not trusting her, and whatever this is now.
[She hums softly, the non-verbal response seeming the most fitting one in the moment. Besides, the more he talks the less she wants to talk about any of it. She's never been much for the whole over thinking things part of these situations. Hayley has always been more fond of taking something when she wanted it and right now, standing in front of Isaac she knows what she wants.]
Then we'll keep it between you and me. Just maybe a bit closer than this. [Hayley closes what space remains and leans up to kiss him. It's a return to him, to what they have without actually admitting to what it is that they have.]

whatever it's becoming.]
This is between you and me. Not them.
