[That's accompanied with a look that's almost amused, or would be if Adam were a little less tangled up inside. After all, he doesn't really think Gansey knows what he's doing - not about everything, not all the time. Not even most of the time. Adam, perhaps more than the rest of them, has plenty of experience with calling Gansey on his shit. He knows very well that Gansey has huge blind spots and can be extremely oblivious, distracted by his own privilege and the things in his head.]
But you've had more success at this sort of thing than I ever have, and you know Ronan. You know how few people he has. It is really worth risking what we have now for - something else? I don't even know if I'm capable of that sort of thing. At least now he's... he could get over it. Move on. We could just be friends.
[He shakes his head, looks away. It's not everything. There's no way he can admit to Gansey, selfishly, that he doesn't want to get hurt either. That he doesn't want Ronan to change his mind the way Blue did, to decide Adam Parrish could never be good enough. Even if it's true.]
