[Billy wants to answer, wants to settle down immediately and reassure Teddy that he's fine, just fine. He wants to explain himself properly, too; by the obvious confusion in Teddy's voice, it's easy to tell that he doesn't remember what happened.
And that's... sad, in a way. Does that mean that Teddie was just a shifted creation? Or did they really switch places for a week? The fact that he doesn't have all of the answers makes it harder to speak, too.
More than that, though... how can he explain what he's feeling right now? The crushing relief of knowing that he didn't lose his love, that he doesn't have to endure this place without the man he'd promised to spend the rest of his life with? How can he describe the despair he'd been living with, the uncertainty, the juggle between enjoying his female counterpart's company and feeling Teddy's absence like a gaping hole in his heart?
There aren't really words for all of that. So he shakes his head a bit helplessly, shoulders shaking as he lets the grateful tears fall. He's not ready just yet. He just needs to indulge in this for a while.]
