While Alex often thinks of those things that happened on this day, he doesn't often think about the date itself. So when Michael starts snapping and moving around like an angry bear, he has no idea what to do about it.
When he leaves though it's hard. It's hard to cope with the fact that he doesn't know what to do and the worry that settles on his shoulders like fifty pounds that leaves him feeling heavy and worn down and nervous all day.
He gives Michael his space, even if that space involves checking on his location from time to time. It's not spying on him in the grand scheme of not wanting to give him his space, but that he'd been kidnapped and tortured and so Alex is never ever going to let that happen again.
He lets him be though, until he realizes that he's been home, but outside, for a while, and eventually he swallows his fear and heads outside to try and ask Michael if there's anything he can do to help.
And he finds himself standing on the other side of the truck and trailer.
