Gavin withered, faced with Maxwell's anger, averting his eyes as he pulled the shovel out of the muck again. If only to give his hands something to do.

"No," Gavin replied, answering the last question first because it was the easiest. "I hurt her, Maxwell, that's the point. It wasn't - If it was just - if it was just the kiss, it probably would have been fine, but she was upset, and I tried to fix it, and I made it worse." Like he always somehow managed to. His brows knitted together as he thrust the shovel hard into the ground and tossed the dirt out behind him again. "You don't need to make promises to hurt people. Especially not if you're me." He thrust the shovel into the earth again, but paused before pulling it out, looking up at Maxwell.

"I'm sorry. I told you I was going to do better, and I just - immediately trudged a good league backwards."
