As Logan listened to Savannah's response he found himself overwhelmed by an almost crushing sense of disappointment. Disappointment in himself for letting things get to this point, and disappointment in himself for playing into the manipulative teen's traps each step of the way. He was also very disappointed in Savannah for not being mature enough to own up to her own actions.
As she finished speaking, an awkward silence was born. Logan stared at the teenager, his face blank, his eyes cold and dispassionate. He felt hollow. A part of him wanted to argue with Savannah, to try to get her to open up and talk to him, but he realized at this point, she just wasn't ready for that kind of honesty. He also had a sense, for the first time since he'd met her, that she just wasn't worth the effort.
"Nevermind, Savannah," he finally said, his eyes dropping away from her face and down to the car keys he was holding in his hand. He was done with her. "You drive safe," he added, his voice cold, as he turned and started toward his car, lifting his gym bag up onto his shoulder.
