It's not that Victor doesn't believe him, mostly. He doesn't think Yuri would lie directly to his face, like this, right now, but it does feel a little like all the other times he's gotten something wrong: when he first arrived, on the beach, only a few hours ago in the garage.

He wonders if all of this will end with Yuri shouting at him again. That wouldn't be ideal, but at least Yuri was honest, finally said everything that had been bothering him.

(I've been wondering if you secretly want to quit!)

He should probably address that, too, at some point, but that isn't this problem, is it?

Is Yuri just stressed and tired from the day, too overwhelmed to be rational? Is he worried again that Victor will push him too far, or expect too much? There's a faint push at the corner of Victor's mouth that isn't a frown, but is shadowed by a faint line drawing itself between his brows. "Are you okay with all of this? Is it too much?"

If it is, would a break maybe be a good idea, for both of them?
