"You think that's fair?" Adam asked. "To go up an' say, 'Hey, I saw you two kissin'. Why don't you do it some more?' It's just you puttin' more pressure on 'em. An' Brian can be hurt, too. He just don't show it as much as Wensley. Don't mean he don't feel it as strong."
No, she couldn't take it back, and even if she could, it wouldn't have mattered. Having the object of your affections be damn near omniscient doesn't allow for secrets. But as much as he cared for Pepper and wanted her around, he wouldn't force her to stay. It was entirely her choice. He was compassionate enough to not want to make her endure heart-ache over and over again. But he was selfish enough not to send her away.
Adam looked up to meet her eyes. "Oh, Pep... I don't wanna pretend it didn't happen or try to forget it. I liked it. An' it would take a lot more than a kiss to make me..."
